are schools with only one teacher handling all the subjects. But even under

professional growth. It is the duty of the heads of institutions to encouraging

staff of the colleges of education, professors of universities and colleges of
education, professors of universities and other college and the state department
of education. They must have something
new to give to the teachers. These programmes should be baked by the findings
of research. School teachers should be
encouraged to take small research projects and to report their findings to
others.
