Teacher Education is one of the key aspects of an effective Education system in a country. The purpose of a Teacher Education programme is to equip and empower teachers with the correct knowledge, skills, attitude, and behaviour for teaching the learners to ensure their holistic development. The present research paper analyses the existing literature on teacher education programmes in Finland and India and aims to do a comparative study between India (a country in the global South) and Finland (a country in the global North) in terms of their teacher education programmes. The comparison aims to cover the aspects of entry requirements in teacher education courses at universities, the entry requirements to be a middle school and high school teacher, the curriculum, and the challenges faced by both systems of Teacher Education. An attempt has been also made to better understand how the governments of two different countries facilitate the teacher education programme. Additionally, it tries to highlight the different drawbacks in the Indian teacher education programme as India is still in its developing stage while Finland has already established a developed teacher education programme long ago. The study elucidates the current lacunae in the Indian teacher education system and throws light on potential reforms that can be adopted in the Indian teacher education system from the Finnish teacher education system such as the transformation from a rote-learning-based approach towards a research-based approach, making teachers’ training more reflective and focused upon skill development, and giving teachers more autonomy to customize the curriculum as per the students' needs.
