The theme of the Conferenceis of great significanceto all teacher-educators everywhere. It is as important for the Super-industrial sodietiesas for the ones which are still at a pre-industrial stage of development.The acceleration of changehas created serious problems for all human beings. Probably, nowhere in the world have human beings been prepared by formal education foradapting to the changes. All societies have been and are engaged ininitiatingits young membersto the cultural inheritance. Here and there efforts have beenmade to prepare them for adapting to the Present. There has been hardlyany attempts made or plans prepared for the youth or the adults to adapt to the Future.No serious thought aboutwhat the Future is going to be has been given by the edue;ators.It is only whenone is able to analyse properly the Futurenot speculate, riorindulgein crystal gazingExit systematically study the Future, that one can think of theways to educate the youth for it. Whatever educational system a country may have, theultimate outcomes depend very much on the teacher in the classroom.This is true even of those schools where advanced educational technology includingcomputer .assisted education is being increasingly emphasised.And, ateacher very often only extends in his work, all that he is taught during histeacher-educationprogramme. Therefore, to effect any change inthe way our childrenare educated, the program- mes of teacher education should be modified and developed keeping inview specific requirements of the Future. Unfortunately,teacher-educationhas very often followed changes in Society and in school.It hba seldom anticipated,much loss effected them.: The Conference deliberated upon the relationship andinteraction between Teacher Education and Social Change. On thisissue, therewere SCUM papers which were devoted to the theoretical bases;some others elaborated innovations in teacher education programmes and problems therein and still, someothers were deScriptions of teacher education programmes in different countries.They were categorized in four sections as follows : I.General (a)An Overview '(b)Addresses : Welcome, Introductory, Inauguralland Presidential.
