The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has planned to introduce an integrated three-year BEd, and a two-year MEd programme.
Union minister of state for HRD, Ram Shankar Katheria, said a decision in this regard was expected by the first week of January. The integrated bachelor's and master's courses, he said, would be available to students with effect from the next academic session.
"The country faces an acute shortage of teachers at the primary, secondary and high school levels. The idea of introducing an integrated programme is to enable those interested in teaching to move into the profession without having to give an extra year to be trained as teachers".
Under the new system, a student would be able to opt for the three-year BEd programme after class XII.
Currently, a one-year BEd programme can only be pursued after graduation.
Katheria, himself a professor of Hindi at Agra University, also expressed concern over the poor conditions prevailing in central and state-run universities in Uttar Pradesh. "In a central university like the one in Allahabad, there is no VC. Basic infrastructure like proper sanitation and hostel facilities are lacking. This needs urgent attention," he said, ToI reported.
