The Primary Teacher is a quarterly journal brought out by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi. It carries articles and research papers on educational policies and practices, and valuable material that is useful for practitioners in contemporary times. The journal also provides a forum to teachers to share their experiences and concerns about the schooling processes, curriculum, textbooks, teaching–learning, and assessment practices.

The papers for publication are selected on the basis of comments received from two referees. The views expressed by individual authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect the policies of the NCERT or the views of the Editor.
