The curriculum of the Education studies in the state is all set to undergo major changes from the next academic year as the duration of the Bachelor of Education (B Ed) course would be raised to two years and other changes would also be introduced.
These changes have been under consideration for a long time after National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has formed the guidelines. The council was also contemplating to change the structure of syllabus and inclusions of more topics in the teacher education studies.
Major changes include the enhancement of course duration from one year to two years and alterations in examination pattern. As per the decisions taken by the School Education Department, the examination papers for the Education Studies (B Ed) in the next academic year would be 12 unlike 6 in the pat.
At the same time the duration of internship or Teaching Practice would be for 20 weeks (6 months) instead of 8 weeks (two months). Higher Education Council Chairman T Papi Reddy said that Centre was contemplating these changes for a long time and National Council for Teacher Education has already informed the changes.
He said that changes were being introduced to strengthen the teacher education. He said that if a teacher has been trained well, he/she can educate the students in a better way. He said that notification for B Ed would be released soon and entrance examination would be conducted in June this year. These changes also come with some other strict norms for students. They would be asked to complete B Ed within three years from the date of admission. Internship or practical teaching session would include interaction with students and with community, skill development and communication development.
The teacher training period would conclude with the presentation of papers by the candidates. On the other hand the examinations would be conducted semester wise and the number of papers would be 12 for two years.
