In a major move, Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ said the ministry has granted retrospective recognition to teacher education courses conducted without approval from the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE).

The new move will provide relief to over 13,000 students and 17,000 in-service teachers.

Pokhriyal said “We have brought out gazette notification to regularize retrospectively certain teacher education programmes being conducted by some central and state government institutions. These programmes were being conducted without any formal recognition from NCTE.”

“It was brought to my notice that some of the institutions had inadvertently admitted students in teacher education courses which were not recognized by NCTE.” it added.

The ministry clarified that amendment only allows retrospective recognition up to academic session 2017-2018, thereby only regularizing the qualifications acquired by students in the past.

NCTE legally grants formal recognition to academic institutions for conducting any of the recognized courses meant for pre-service teacher education. It is only after qualifying any of these NCTE recognized courses that a person becomes legally eligible for appointment as a school teacher.

CBSE directs schools to implement activity-based curriculum

CBSE curriculum

In the wake of extension of lockdown in the country, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has asked schools to shift the method of teaching. The CBSE asked the schools to adopt an activity-based curriculum instead of current text-based learning methods.

The CBSE, in a circular said: “We have been forced to rethink on the present system of an almost complete reliance of school education on prescribed textbooks, to instead make all-out efforts to replace it with a combination of an engaging and joyful blend of activity-based learning, do-it-yourself and learn projects, building self-reliance capabilities in our learners along with textbooks and use of technology.”

Even, the NCERT released alternative academic calendars for different sections to encourage activity-based learning with the help of both online and offline resources.

The CBSE said that there is a need to shift to a competency-based education (CBE) which would employ an interdisciplinary instruction such as the use of arts, storytelling, sports to convey concepts.

The CBSE also said “It felt necessary that schools majorly focus their teaching efforts on learning and its outcomes, rather than entirely on exams, testing and scores.” Schools have been instructed to prepare annual plans with activity-based “meaningful and joyful learning experiences”.
