<strong>Teacher</strong>-<strong>Related</strong> <strong>Indicators</strong><br />

states. On the other hand, in a few states, such as Andhra<br />

Pradesh, Chandigarh, Delhi, Puducherry, Punjab,<br />

Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the majority<br />

(above 50 percent) of Primary school teachers is<br />

Graduates and above. Uttarakhand has more Post-<br />

Graduate Primary school teachers (35.92 percent) than<br />

teachers having Graduate degrees (31.47 percent) and<br />

the percentage of such female teachers is more than<br />

their male counterparts.<br />

Percentage of teachers by professional qualification<br />

(excluding para-teachers) presented in Tables D-16 and<br />

D-17 suggests that about 41.36<br />

percent male and 37.68 percent<br />

female teachers (all categories)<br />

in urban areas are B.Ed or<br />

equivalent, compared to 31.68<br />

percent male and 27.67 percent<br />

female teachers in rural areas.<br />

The total of these two shows<br />

that 38 and 30 percent teachers,<br />

respectively, in urban and rural<br />

areas have such degrees. It has<br />

also been noticed that<br />

percentage of such teachers in<br />

urban areas is higher than the<br />

same in rural areas. The<br />

corresponding figures in the case<br />

of teachers at Primary level are<br />

27.76 percent male and 27.68 percent female (total<br />

27.71 percent). In the case of integrated Higher<br />

Secondary schools, as many as 44.44 percent male and<br />

47.32 percent female teachers had B.Ed or equivalent<br />

degree in 2007-08, compared to 46.05 percent in the<br />

case of all teachers. Upper Primary attached to<br />

Secondary and Higher Secondary schools also have<br />

61.35 percent (61.14 male and 61.71 female) teachers<br />

with B.Ed degree. Further, it is noticed that compared<br />

to teachers having B.Ed degree, the percentage of<br />

teachers having M.Ed degree across school types is low.<br />

On the other hand, a good number of teachers are J.B.T<br />

or equivalent which is true for all categories and Primary<br />

teachers. Considering all teachers together, only 1.20<br />

percent teachers in Primary schools have M.Ed or<br />

equivalent degree compared to 1.84 percent in<br />

independent Elementary, 3.88 percent in integrated<br />

Higher Secondary, 2.98 percent in Upper Primary and<br />

“Percentage of teachers by<br />

professional qualification<br />

suggests that about<br />

41.36 percent male and<br />

37.68 percent female<br />

teachers in urban areas<br />

are B.Ed or equivalent,<br />

compared to 31.68 percent<br />

male and 27.67 percent<br />

female teachers in<br />

rural areas”<br />

3.97 percent in Upper Primary attached to Secondary<br />

and Higher Secondary schools.<br />

The percentage of no response in each school<br />

category indicates that a fairly good number of regular<br />

teachers do not possess any professional qualification.<br />

The percentage of such teachers (both regular and parateachers)<br />

is 22.32, compared to 19.10 percent in the<br />

case of regular teachers of all categories. The state-wise<br />

percentage of teachers with professional qualifications<br />

is presented in Table D-18. It reveals that about 78<br />

percent of the total teachers at Elementary level possess<br />

one or the other professional<br />

qualification, compared to 45<br />

percent in the case of parateachers.<br />

In the case of regular<br />

teachers alone, the percentage<br />

is as high as 81. The statespecific<br />

percentages reveal that<br />

the majority of regular teachers<br />

in all the north-eastern states,<br />

including Assam as well as in<br />

Jammu and Kashmir and in a few<br />

other states is yet to attain<br />

professional qualification. This is<br />

also true for para-teachers. On<br />

the other hand, in a few states,<br />

like Delhi, Kerala, Karnataka,<br />

Maharashtra, Rajasthan and<br />

Tamil Nadu, the majority of para-teachers are<br />

professionally trained; the majority of regular teachers<br />

in such states are also trained.<br />

In-Service Training of <strong>Teacher</strong>s<br />

As many as 2.07 million teachers had undergone<br />

in-service training in 2006-07 compared to 1.69 million<br />

in 2005-06. In other words, about 38.32 percent male<br />

and 35.80 percent female teachers (all categories) were<br />

imparted in-service training during the year 2006-07,<br />

compared to 33.22 percent male and 32.30 percent<br />

female teachers in 2005-06. In percentage terms, more<br />

female teachers were imparted in-service training than<br />

their male counterparts in both rural and urban areas.<br />

More than 71 percent of teachers in Gujarat (males<br />

79.13 percent and females, 64.03 percent) underwent<br />

in-service training, the highest amongst all the states.<br />
