About Indian Institute of Teacher Education - IITE
Indian Institute of Teacher Education (IITE), established in 2010 is the brainchild of the then CM of Gujarat Shri Narendra Modi. He wanted to establish an institute that would produce world-class teachers and export them. At a time when the world is facing a shortage of teachers, he wanted India to lead from the front.
"If you send a businessman to a foreign land, he controls dollars, but if you send a teacher s/he would control the whole generation". Modi used to say.
Shri Narendra Modi is one of the few such visionaries who thought that 21st-century education would not just consist of a degree but an all-inclusive setup, and hence the idea of innovative, residential, integrated degrees was brought into existence. To lend a material shape to the best educational philosophies from across the world, a team of experts led by legendary Indian academician and philosopher Shri Kireetbhai Joshi and other scholars of national and international stature came together to design the curriculum of IITE.
