With the advent global and electro-accelerated reforms, raising the quality of teachers in par with the demands has become a major concern and challenge for the policymakers, universities and colleges and this responsibility is burdened further on the colleges of teacher education, and the public in general. Every child deserves a quality teacher. This seminar purports to contribute to the ongoing debates in the challenges and quality of teacher education and create a new knowledge base that would provide a plausible solution without sacrificing the concerns of all stake holders form different quarters.

To brace up a fight against this humpty number of challenges and reach the success is not going to be an ice-cream chewing for many; rather a path of daunting challenges.
