1.1 Introduction
Most of the educationists agree that all of different factors, which influence the quality of
education, the quality, competence and character of teachers, are the most significant. The
quality of education imparted depends to a large extent on the quality of teachers. (iqbal1996)
In reports of all the commissions and policies, it is stressed that the success of education system
would largely depend on the competence of teachers and No system of education is better than
its teacher

. (National commission on education) The quality of education is a central theme in

education systems. The quality of education is increasingly judged by focusing on pupil
performance, what pupils actually learn, and how well they learn it.
In considering what constitutes teacher quality Fwu and Wang (2002) state that teacher training
could develop content knowledge, pedagogical skills, the ability to reflect and to empathize,
managerial competency, commitment, moral conduct, the ability to adjust and improvise, the
capacity to collaborate with other teachers, the ability to advance the profession of teaching, and
to contribute to society at large. In addition, they suggest that the quality of a teacher should
ultimately be evaluated in terms of his/her impact on the quality of his/her students.
In most of the countries irrespective of developed and developing, teachers have to undergo
intensive training together with substantial practical experience before entering into the teaching
profession. The rationale for teacher training is the technical nature of the teaching profession.
Training in his field provides the knowledge, skill, to reshape the attitudes, remodel the habits
and in a way to reconstitute the personality of a teacher.

faculty of education at the university of Sindh pioneered the advanced level teacher training
programs for different departments and affiliated colleges in Sindh province with the
collaboration of higher education commission (HEC) as training is essential part of education
system and training of teachers is an important to enhance their professional capabilities with
fresh knowledge, it is also essential that knowledge and information acquired by teachers
through trainings may transform to other teachers as well students that process of learning and
teaching continued. Improving teachers motivations to do well in training is a must. Whatever

learning new things. Teacher training can be an essential part of University of Sindh. When
