The skills-gap of teachers is increasing across academic disciplines, and it is not a good sign for an emerging economy like India. Since, teachers are directly involved in grooming tomorrow's leaders, it becomes imperative to improve the quality of teachers and also narrow down the skills-gap.
In fact, Stanford professor and "Baby Nobel" prize winner, Raj Chetty, in his research on value addition by teacher, states that a good teacher can create substantial economic value for students. While a bad teacher, who has worked for more than a decade in an institute, creates a loss of $2.5 million.
His research, primarily, highlights that the skills-gap in teachers can hurt the economy as it can exact huge losses in the long-run.

How to identify the skill gaps for teachers and how to address the same at institutional and national level remains a big challenge.
