If education has to prepare students for life and facilitate a successful and efficient transition from student’s life to a professional well developed civilized one, then the educational goals need to be fixed for equipping them to live in world where, the key to success is the ability to be flexible, ability to change. They should possess tools and skills with the capability to apply them to tasks, to be decision makers and makers of their own destiny. Therefore, education must see that it prepares not a few persons with a great knowledge but many persons with competent knowledge, capable of employing their faculties to the best possible use. If these are the expectations from Education then teacher education programmes or teacher preparation programmes will be called upon to shoulder even more serious responsibilities. There is thus the immediate need to address the TEP in light of the performance management viewpoint and indeed it begins its curriculum life skills - essential to all teachers who are ultimately responsible for their students development - be it physical mental, emotional or social.
