The spectrum of interesting critical issues related to ‘quality’ was brought to light during the SRHE Academic Practice Network conference on 22-23 June 2021. The conference Qualifying the debate on quality attracted my attention. The key characteristics of high-quality teachers highlighted by the study are commitment, love of children, mastery of subject didactics and multiple models of teaching, the ability to collaborate with other teachers, and a capacity for reflection. The idea that teacher educators are self-made, good classroom teachers who can transmit these skills and knowledge into higher education institutions without formal training as teacher educators should be examined decisively. Systems need to be established for teacher educators to be formally trained at levels beyond that of ordinary classroom teachers. The goal is to illuminate teacher quality – what it is and how it’s captured, measured, and promoted – with an eye toward ways that it engages the whole structure of teacher recruitment, preparation, induction, evaluation, support, and career development. As the following articles illuminate, teacher quality can be the basket into which we place our idealized notions of teaching. It can also be a discursive space for healthy debate and consensus-building around continual improvement. It is a policy lever that allocates resources, power, and values. It is only semi-visible and, like a solar eclipse, perhaps best viewed indirectly. And, finally, it is rarely systematically investigated – especially in a form that crosses contexts, cultures, countries, and constituencies. Teacher training is critical to improving the quality of education in India. While there are several challenges, there are also many opportunities to improve the quality of teacher training. The government, private institutions, and civil society need to work together to address these challenges and create a system that provides quality teacher training. Teacher training is an essential investment in the future of education in India.
