Abstract
‘Quality’ is often emphasized to have effective education. But, there are differences of opinion in identifying the benchmark or traits of ‘Quality Teacher’ and ‘Quality Education’. This paper not goes into the debate but attempts to identify the challenges for the present educational system. The Paper addresses two of the several elements of the educational system i.e., ‘Quality Teacher’ and Policy makers of ‘Quality education’. Here, they are said to have ‘quality’ if they have an attitude of striving towards it.
Challenges relevant to educational system are derived out of Sociological introspection of the present society. My experience as ‘Learner’ and ‘Educator’ so far in educational system, source from internet and newspaper, focused group discussion with colleagues and students (learners) of my classes also helps me to do so. Thus, challenges are identified for the present educational system. By referring the challenges, it is able to open up the ideas to address these challenges. ‘Quality’ used as prefix to the words ‘Teacher’ and policy makers of ‘Education’ is more meaningful and relevant if they are able to understand and address these challenges
