Abstract

The Paper examines the professional responsibilities of a teacher in tertiary level. Apart from content expertise, a teacher needs to have the ability to provide a critical analysis of domain related sociopolitical, economic and cultural issues and design appropriate academic Programs and learning methods. The views so expressed are illustrated using Draft proposal of Tourism Ministry for the 11th Five Year Plan. The reasons for the contemporary status of skewed economic development are stated in order to explain the theme of 11th Five Year Plan. The key recommendations of the Plan document are examined with respect to capacity building and HR initiatives. Its content is critically compared with the Plan document of HRD Ministry to show case the value of Distance Education mode for offering Continuing Education and Extension Education Programs, the former for upgrading the competence of the skilled workers and, the latter for inculcation of skills to the uninitiated. The advantage of using experiential learning for capacity building is also explained.
