GCERT
Overview
Gujarat Council of Educational Research and Training (GCERT) is a pivotal institution at the
state level for the enhancement of qualitative education at primary and secondary schools.
It was "State Institute of Education" before 1988. It was later upgraded as a SCERT in 1988,
under the resolution of State Education Department. The upgraded SCERT, now named as
Gujarat Council of Educational Research and Training (GCERT) is a fully structured State level
academic institution and is controlled and guided by a Governing body as well as an Executive
Committee.
GCERT was shifted from Ahmedabad to Gandhinagar, the State Capital in 1997. State Education
Department has allotted separate land for the GCERT for building in sector-12. Hence the
GCERT has been functioning in the newly constructed building VIDYABHAVAN in sector12 with modern infrastructure and latest equipment since 21st August, 2004 in view of the
widening horizon.
Under the umbrella of GCERT, there are now 26 DIETs (District Institute of Education and
Training) functional in 25 Districts. These DIETs impart pre-service and in-service training to
the primary teachers of the State. There are seven branches namely Pre-service Teacher
Education (PSTE), Work Experience (WE), District Resource Unit (DRU), Curriculum Material
Development & Evaluation (CMDE), Educational Technology (ET), In-service Field interaction
Innovation & Co-ordination (IFIC) and Planning & Management PM functioning in these
DIETs. These DIETs are well equipped with qualified and experienced academic and
administrative staff.
The GCERT works as a prominent institution for implementing the policies, programmes and
researches in the State. It provides resource support and guidance to all the teacher education
institutions and works in collaboration with the NGOs, Subject experts, Educationalists and
pioneers in bringing about reforms in the remote and underserved areas of the State. It
disseminates latest information with regard to modern trends and approaches in primary
education, pre-service and in-service education, pedagogical advances in the country, wide use
of distance education as a mode of training, organizing community awareness programmes and
updation of curriculum of primary education in view of new and emerging concerns. Even the
State Ministry of Education banks upon its expertise. The Council is committed to bringing
about qualitative improvement in school education particularly Elementary Education,
development of curriculum syllabi, instructional material and evaluation strategies to explore
suitable solutions to educational challenges with the changing time. The GCERT has scaled a
unique journey with experimentation from chalk to satellite, scaling an arduous terrain in the
field of educational reforms.
