Colleges of education in the region that had been helplessly watching the declining patronage for the traditional B.Ed. programmes are in a ‘wait and watch’ mode in the wake of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) deciding to put on hold its approval for launch of four-year integrated B.Sc. B.Ed. and B.A.B.Ed. programmes. The demand for the programme began to slide since 2015-16 from when NCTE had doubled the duration of B.Ed. to two years, according to a functionary of a college of education in Tiruchi. The advantage in the four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) is that the students will be able to save a year. In the central districts, the ITEP is being offered by Central University of Tamil Nadu at Tiruvarur, and SASTRA Deemed to be University and Periyar Maniammai Institute of Science and Technology in Thanjavur district.More Related News
