Analysis of teacher education curriculum from the standpoint of fundamental duties

A critique

Abstract

"There were no rights without duties," Mahatma Gandhi said. So, responsibility comes first, followed by rights. However, we are more concerned with our Fundamental Rights than with our Fundamental Duties. There would be no need to seek information regarding our Fundamental Rights if we were all aware of our Fundamental Duties. Article 51-A of our Constitution establishes eleven Fundamental Duties for every Indian citizens. But, regrettably, the majority of us are unaware of those eleven Fundamental Duties. So, our initial job as teacher educators is to be aware of those eleven Fundamental Duties, since we all know that schools are the basic unit of society, and teacher training is now required to enter the teaching-learning process. So, if we make instructors aware of those eleven Fundamental Duties, then teachers will make students aware of those eleven Fundamental Duties, and students will make their families aware of those Fundamental Duties, and so on. It's similar to a chain of events. This article aims to determine the real understanding of eleven Fundamental Obligations among potential teacher educators, then solicit important suggestions from them for spreading awareness of those obligations, and finally, provide recommendations to our government for spreading awareness of those obligations.
