41% maths teachers did not study maths at UG level: TISS Report

While the government has been emphasising on multidisciplinary, holistic education, the TISS report has pointed out that there is a great level of paucity of teachers for subjects such as physical education, music and art.

New Delhi :-  The Centre of Excellence in Teacher Education (CETE) at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) on Thursday released the State of Teachers, Teaching and Teacher Education Report (SOTTTER) highlighting teacher availability and deployment. The study from eight states across India shows that 35 to 41 per cent of mathematics teachers in both government and private schools did not have mathematics as a subject at the undergraduate level.

While the survey reiterates concerns over teacher vacancy, among requirements of teachers for various subjects, mathematics tops the chart with 35 per cent. This is followed by teacher requirements for those qualified to teach English (31 per cent) and regional languages (30 per cent).
