SUPREME COURT QUASHES ORDER ON BED FOR PRIMARY

Holding that BEd degree-holders are not trained to have the pedagogical skills to handle kids, the Supreme Court has ruled that only diploma holders in elementary education can be appointed as primary school teachers, reports Amit Anand Choudhary. It quashed the 2018 notification of National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) which specified BEd as qualification for primary teachers. The court 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.
