Every nation whether developed or developing links its future with the status of the children. But even after sixty-four years of independence, many children still do not manage to enroll and many more drop out of the school education system. To enjoy the future, parliament and Indian people made efforts to bring about the act- ‘Right to Education’. However, there is a question, whether the increase in enrollment necessarily reflect expansion of education because a child who is just on the register of the class is counted as enrolled irrespective of the fact that whether (s)he actually attend the class. Poor Pupil Teacher ratio leaves no doubt as regards the quality and attention, which is being provided to the children. Going by RTE norms, many more schools and infrastructure is to be planned and at least a million teachers will need to be freshly recruited and trained. UNESCO identified teacher-education institutions and teacher educators as key change agents in reorienting education to address sustainability. Teachers, Administrative setup and Policy making are the torch bearers in creating social cohesion, national integration and a learning society. This Paper focuses on the aspect- the role of teacher education institutions in reorienting education.
