Our Vision

The University is envisioned to evolve as a center for excellence in teacher education at both pre-service and in-service stages across the school levels, and in the areas of education studies, leadership and policy. It will work towards bridging the gap between practice, research and policy in teacher education while constantly engaging with the dynamic concepts and realities of quality in education in the city of Delhi.

The new vision for school education system in Delhi will sustain for a longer time with the recognition of teachers as skilled professionals, who can constantly engage in generating innovative practices of teaching and learning methods. Students across schools need strong academic foundations, cultural and global competencies, strong social emotional competencies (ability to collaborate, communicate, and solve problems) to productively engage in our democracy and compete in the global economy. DTU aims to prepare all aspiring teachers to be efficient enough to inculcate these aforementioned abilities in each and every school student they meet future.

For this, more than theoretical knowledge, Delhi Teachers University’s main focus is on developing field experiences of students and to help them learn in original settings of government schools. Education programs at DTU will have integration of the professional teacher education and liberal education. As being set up in the era of digital learning, University will also focus on developing online teaching skills exclusively in all aspiring teachers through its programs.

Students will be provided international exposure through education seminars and conferences and will have an opportunity to engage with best teachers, teaching experts, academicians, researchers in field of education from all across the globe. This will help them enhance their knowledge and perspectives towards global education systems and learn from them.

University also aims to promote fundamental and applied researches in field of education and help experts develop unique teaching experiences, practices, innovative curriculum, and pedagogic strategies to uplift the teaching and education community.

Central to all its efforts, University’s main aim is to develop a force of quality educators across different school stages as envisaged in National Education Policy 2020, who can think of innovations in field of teaching and learning in any situation.
