अब B.Ed डिग्री वाले भी बनेंगे A Grade Lecturer- NCTE B.Ed Approval

NCTE B.Ed Approval – What was the system earlier?

Earlier the rule was that if someone wanted to teach at class 1 to 5 i.e. primary level, then he had to have a degree like D.El.Ed, BTC or JBT. B.Ed holders were allowed to teach only classes above class 6. Due to this, thousands and lakhs of B.Ed holders were left out of primary vacancies even if they wanted to.

What's new now?

Now NCTE has changed its old rules. Now even if you have done B.Ed, you can teach classes 1 to 5 - the only condition is that you have to pass the CTET or State TET exam. Then you can also apply with the same right as a D.El.Ed pass candidate.

This change has not only brought relief to lakhs of candidates, but it is also considered a big positive change in the entire education system.

Why was this change brought?

Many B.Ed pass candidates were demanding for a long time that they should also get a chance in primary schools. Many filed petitions in the court. In view of the court's instructions, constant pressure from the candidates and the needs of education, the government and NCTE finally had to take this decision.

This will not only fill the shortage of teachers, but the number of qualified and trained teachers will also increase, which will improve the quality of education.

What will be the required qualification for B.Ed holders?

1. If you also want to take advantage of this decision, then you have to keep some things in mind:
2. You should have a B.Ed degree from a recognized institute.
3. You have to pass CTET or State TET (Teacher Eligibility Test).
4. While applying, look carefully at the age and educational qualification conditions.

What is included in CTET or TET?

The subjects asked in these exams are as follows:

1. Child Development and Pedagogy
2. Hindi Language
3. Second Language (English or Regional Language)
4. Mathematics
5. Environmental Studies
6. Prepare for all these subjects according to the NCTE syllabus. Old papers and mock tests can be of great help.

Which states will benefit the most?

This decision will be applicable all over India, but its effect will be seen more in some states, such as:

1. Uttar Pradesh
2. Bihar
3. Rajasthan
4. Madhya Pradesh
5. Jharkhand
6. Chhattisgarh

These states already have a huge shortage of primary teachers. In such a situation, B.Ed holders are expected to get plenty of opportunities.

What should B.Ed pass candidates do now?

1. If you were thinking only about the upper classes till now, then now is the time to change your thinking. You should do this:
2. Start preparing for CTET or State TET immediately.
3. Focus more on child psychology, teaching methods and basic subjects.
4. Take online mock tests and solve old question papers.
5. Keep checking the information of any state or central government teacher recruitment.

What will be the benefits of this decision?

1. Lakhs of B.Ed pass youth will get new career options.
2. The shortage of teachers in schools will be reduced.
3. Village and remote schools will get qualified teachers.
4. The quality of education will improve.
5. According to the New Education Policy (NEP 2020), this decision is a very important step.

Will this decision be implemented immediately in every state?

Yes, but state governments make their own rules. That is, every state will implement this decision of NCTE at its own level. Therefore, you should keep getting updates from the website of your state's education department.

So if you have done B.Ed and till now you only dreamed of doing M.Ed or going to a college, then now you can also set your eyes on primary schools. You just have to clear an exam like CTET or TET and then you too can get a chance to teach children of class 1 to 5 in a government school.

Now the time has come to pick up the books, plan the syllabus, and join the race for a government job. This opportunity will not come again and again.
