In Manipur, the total number of 2.92% of Male and 2.45% Female teachers served from primary upto higher secondary schools received in-service training according to 2013–14 report. There is a wide gap between the intake capacity of the existing training institutes and the actual trained teachers requirement. The large backlog of underqualified and untrained teachers in the State is really a big problem and concerted efforts have to be made by all concerned to liquidate this backlog. Subsequently, the question of ‘Teacher-Education in Distance Learning’ arises to fulfill our national goal of Quality Education.
