In response to a national agenda aimed at enhancing the quality of the Indian teacher workforce, Teacher Quality and Education Policy in India takes a critical stance towards the application of human capital theory to Indian education policy. Through in-depth and strategically structured analyses of these policies, including the recently approved National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the book explores how Indian policymakers leverage teacher quality as a key driver and metric for education and national economic development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe text ultimately presents evidence-based policy recommendations to improve teacher quality in India, recognizing that while all five policies have provided valuable frameworks and recommendations for teacher quality reform, they have fallen short of achieving a transformative impact. Given its rigorous methodological approach, this book will serve as a valuable addition to the relatively under-researched field of education policymaking in postcolonial contexts. It will be an indispensable resource for scholars engaged in policymaking within the Indian context, as well as for those working at the intersection of education, teacher development, and policymaking in developing countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, Teacher Quality and Education Policy in India offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of the complex dynamics between teacher quality, education policies, and student performance. By providing a rigorous analysis of five major national policies, the book sheds light on the challenges and opportunities facing the Indian education system and offers valuable insights for policymakers and educators alike. Through its evidence-based recommendations and methodological approach, this book contributes to the ongoing efforts to enhance teacher quality and improve educational outcomes in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 502g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 218 x 255 x 21 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367516413\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PreetiKumar,Alexander W.Wiseman","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105057206522,"sku":"9780367516413","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/386879019eaa3e245f7ed341c8c5f07a.jpg?v=1623213664","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/teacher-quality-and-education-policy-in-india-understanding-the-relationship-between-teacher-education-teacher-effectiveness-and-student-outcomes","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
