Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has approved a proposal for starting the Teacher Interface for Excellence (TIE) programme, as part of which the teachers of government universities, colleges and polytechnic colleges will get training in prestigious institutions of the country and abroad. A target has been set to train 500 teachers from across the State this year.
The State government will spend ₹23.50 crore on research and training facilities for teachers during 2023-24, while the Higher Education Department will shortly issue detailed guidelines for the TIE programme.
The launch of the new programme is expected to improve the quality of education as well as the level of research in higher educational institutions and further strengthen their performance in the grading provided by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).
