B.Ed degree holders are not eligible for Primary Teacher

 


A notification issued by NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) in the year 2018 specifying B.Ed as qualification for Primary Teachers has been quashed by Supreme Court recently. The SC said the NCTEdid not apply its mind independently and it took the decision to include B,Ed as qualifying degree for primary teachers merely on the recommendation of the Centre.

Before 2018, only diploma holders in elementary education could apply for primary teacher. Before the notification the qualification was D.El.Ed (Diploma in Elementary Education) to be a primary teacher.

Differentiating between the skills required for primary teachers and teachers for secondary or higher education the SC said the pedagogical approach required from a teacher at primary level is in a unique as these are the initial formative years for a student and therefore needs to be handles with care. And the D.El.Ed holders are specially trained for this. B.Ed degree holders are not trained to handle kids of elementary education (Class I to IV)

The Court rightly said the right to education implies quality education and appointing teachers not trained to teach kids at the primary level would amount to compromising the quality of education.

With this order both the kids and the primary teachers are in a better placed where the are supposed to be. The teachers will get their position in the education.

“The elementary education has to be of good quality, and not just a ritual of formality”.
