He very beautifully and intricately explained the differences that are evident in the field of teacher education from past years. “Education, he emphasized, is an all-round development of the body, mind and soul”. He added the fact that the essence of Bloomstaxonomy is to exactly develop the three domains- cognitive, affective and psychomotor which correspond to the above said adage . A special mention was made of the primary, elementary, secondary and senior secondary stages of the school and how a teacher should be prepared according to the content level and background of the students.
