To ensure quality teachers are churned out of training colleges, the
National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) is making some sweeping
changes from the next academic year. It is increasing the duration of
the Bachelor of Education (BEd) programme from one year to two years,
besides modifying the curriculum. From now on, B.Ed and M.Ed programmes would be of two years duration.
An integrated four-year course
leading to B.A and B.Ed degree will be started immediately after class
XII to attract bright minds from an early age into the profession. Those who want to be primary school teachers can get into two-year diploma in education course after class XII.
Pursuing the M.Ed programme under the open and distance learning mode has been dropped.
Subjects such as yoga, information and communication
technology, gender and children with special needs will be included in
all the teacher education programmes, B.Ed programme will also have at
least 20 weeks of class room teaching experience, in order to produce
better qualified teachers.
There would be a three-year integrated B.Ed and M.Ed programme as well.
The reforms were recently approved by the National Council of
Teachers Education to improve the quality of the teacher education
programme.
This means now one has to
study for five years to become a teacher, as the minimum eligibility to
pursue BEd is a three-year undergraduate programme. Experts feel the
change will lend the programme the gravitas enjoyed by other
professional courses like BE (four years) and MBBS (five-and-a-half
years).
A string of other norms is also being stipulated.
Students have been mandated to complete BEd within three years from the
date of admission. They should have more than 80% attendance every year.
Teacher training colleges must have one teacher for every 25 students.
