District Institutes of Education and Training: A Comparative Study in Three Indian States the District Primary Education Programme, but are crucial for the effectiveness of a DIET. If DIETs and Cluster Resource Centres liaise effectively, the DIET can reach out to more teachers than if it attempts to work directly with them. Through its monthly teachers’ meetings and school visits, the Cluster Resource Centre can provide the DIETs with feedback about the impact of its training programmes, and inputs about teacher development needs arising from such discussions and visits. Cluster Resource Centres were not a further extension of the NCERT-SCERT- DIET system; rather they were intended to group existing schools as a unit for teacher development through peer led processes. The District Primary Education Programme also introduced Block Resource Centres, but these are not to be rolled out across the system. Liaison between the DIET and the Block / Cluster Resource Centres is via a designated member of the DIET staff for each Block. Box 1.1: Cluster and Block Resource Centres Resource Centres were new structures instituted by the DPEP, often housed in new buildings or in an additional room within an existing school. Cluster Resource Centres have helped to end teachers’ sense of professional isolation by providing a platform for regular monthly meetings and peer-generated teacher development activities. They were overseen by Block Resource Centres, which were linked to the District level DPEP office. Cluster Resource Centres are being rolled out across the system, but Block Resource Centres are not. Cluster Resource Centres are led by a Cluster Co-ordinator. In the DPEP Districts, this was the sole job of the elected Co-ordinator while in non-DPEP Districts this role was additional to regular teaching duties. The Co-ordinator is expected to be a pace-making teacher, offering leadership, guidance, and support to others in the Cluster by visiting teachers in schools and offering pedagogical support, and leading meetings at the Cluster Centre. In the DPEP Districts, administrative work is dealt with by Cluster Convenors, who are principals of pay centre schools. In the non-DPEP Districts, the Cluster Resource Centre head is an elementary school teacher who carries a normal teaching load in addition to Cluster Resource Centre duties. 1.4 Reporting relationships Reporting relationships in DPEP Districts were more complicated than in non- DPEP Districts, as DPEP provided its own, additional project staff. Each DPEP District had its own officer in-charge, but there would also be the Education Department’s District Education Officer or equivalent who had normal DFID 15
District Institutes of Education and Training: A Comparative Study in Three Indian States responsibilities for teachers, with whom the DPEP officer-in-charge would liaise. Whether in a DPEP District or not, the DIET reports to the SCERT/ equivalent. These arrangements made for complex lines of co-ordination between regular and intervention structures. In non-DPEP Districts, these lines were less complex, in that Cluster Resource Centres respond directly to the DIET and there is no additional Block Resource tier (Fig. 1.1). However, whether in DPEP or non- DPEP Districts, schools do not have direct links with DIETs, since they report to the Education Department, and DIETs do not. The DIET depends for delivery of many of its in-service training programmes on its ‘outreach’ trainers, Master Trainers and Resource Persons who are teachers at local Cluster or Block Resource Centres, and other talented teachers. It is however up to the Education Department to make these teachers available to the DIET.
