Navigating Global Dynamics in Teacher Education: A Comprehensive Overview

Abstract

In the emerging time of the new National Education Policy, the current scenario of the education system demands multiple changes for the sustainable future of the nation, and the present and upcoming generations. The present education system is good enough to increase the literacy rate, however, a state like Kerala has a hundred percent literacy rate compared to any other state of India; yet for employment and education, a major part of the population of the state migrates to various states or countries. The high literacy rate is no more a concern of time; people are quite aware of the social things around them without formal education, due to social media or the revolution of technology. However, the recent trends in every field need an upgraded version of formal education. The fourth goal out of UNESCO’s sixteen SDGs focuses on quality education for a better future. The present research paper discusses the current situation of the Indian education system and the implementation of the new approaches required for a strong education policy through the newly emerging NEP for the welfare of the progeny and the country, which also supports UNESCO’s SDGs for global welfare. The research is developed on secondary data with critical analysis and exhaustive reading. Besides this abstract provides a concise overview of the key global dynamics shaping the field of teacher education in the 21st century. In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements, cultural diversity, and evolving educational philosophies, teacher education faces complex challenges and promising opportunities. This paper explores the multifaceted landscape of global dynamics in teacher education, including policy harmonization, technology integration, inclusivity, 21st-century competencies, professional development, research-based practices, sustainability, public-private partnerships, teacher shortages, and crisis preparedness. This abstract underscore the critical importance of addressing these global dynamics in teacher education to meet the evolving needs of learners and societies worldwide. Policymakers, educators, institutions, and researchers must work collaboratively to navigate these challenges and seize the opportunities they present, ultimately shaping a brighter future for education on a global scale.
