Proposal for select varsities to offer B.Ed with graduation accepted
In a move aimed at providing more trained teachers, select universities will soon offer BEd course along with graduation in science or arts subjects under the 3+1 pattern.
“In a meeting presided by HRD minister Kapil Sibal, vice-chancellors of central universities have agreed to the proposal. Decks will be cleared to introduce it in July 2011, once it gets the nod of the academic councils of select universities,” Ignou vice-chancellor V N Rajashekharan Pillai said.
The four-year “integrated” course will not be available to the students of commerce stream. The students in three-year graduation course can choose to study for another academic year to get a bachelor’s degree in education. Some regional colleges in India already have this kind of integrated course, he noted.
