Abstract	Distance education means instruction in which the instructor and student are separated by distance and interact through the assistance of communication technology. Distance education changes the learning relationship from the common, centralized school model to a more decentralized, flexible model. It also reverses social dynamics by bringing school to students, rather than students to school. The significance of teacher education can be realized from a quotation that "To improve teacher education is to improve teaching; to improve teaching is to improve the schools; to improve the schools is to strengthen the next generation which is a social duty of the first magnitude." [Citation needed. -Ed.] Teacher education is not an end in its self. It is a means to an end. The aim of teacher education is the aim of education. To improve the quality and efficiency of education system, preservice and in-service training programs of high quality are essential. (Contains 4 tables.) (As Provided).
