Directorate of Teacher education & SCERT
FieldReports helps TESCERT monitor daily attendance and activities across 30 DIET colleges in Odisha.
Challenge
Continuous monitoring of any institution is essential for bringing desirable changes in the functioning of the institution. Weak monitoring of the outputs and outcomes of the teacher education institutions and absence of systematic monitoring mechanism affects the effectiveness of the teacher education programme. DTE and SCERT as the administrative controlling office of all teacher education institutions (TEIs) of the state, needs to monitor the performance of the TEIs in regular basis.
TEIs spread over all 30 districts of the state are located very far from the state headquarter and it is difficult to monitor physically. The Directorate was looking for a better approach for monitoring the TEIs
