Schools are miniature society. It reflects the kind of social structure we have in a society. Therefore society in education should complement each other. There are many new pedagogies are coming up in teaching-learning process. Alongwith new pedagogies we also need to look into the traditional pedagogies to bring the best from the past in teaching-learning process. There is a need to initiate dialogue among educational functionaries on new trends as well as national priorities in school education and teacher education accordingly. The deliberations by the academicians/ scientist/ social scientist will generate thinking leading to discussion in qualitative improvement of school education.
