Statement II : Regulatory efforts of teacher education regulatory body are able to curb the malpractices and able to enforce basic standards for quality in teacher education.

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Important Points

Statement I:  Teacher education should be provided in all standalone TEIs as it requires high‐quality content as well as pedagogy and multidisciplinary inputs. :

• Teacher education should be provided in all standalone Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) because it requires high-quality content, pedagogy, and multidisciplinary inputs. However, this statement is not universally true.
• While teacher education does require high-quality content and pedagogy, providing it in all standalone TEIs may not be feasible or necessary.
• The quality of teacher education programs can vary greatly across institutions, and simply providing teacher education in all standalone TEIs does not guarantee high quality.

Statement II: Regulatory efforts of teacher education regulatory body are able to curb the malpractices and able to enforce basic standards for quality in teacher education:

• Statement II implies that regulatory efforts of teacher education regulatory bodies are able to curb malpractices and enforce basic standards for quality in teacher education. However, this statement is also not universally true.
• While regulatory bodies aim to ensure quality in teacher education, their effectiveness in curbing malpractices and enforcing standards may vary depending on various factors such as resources, enforcement mechanisms, and compliance levels.

Thus, both the statements are incorrect.
