In the circular issued by RCI Member Secretary Vikas Trivedi, it is written, NCTE has made a provision for a four-year B.Ed program in the Integrated Teachers Education Program (ITEP) under NEP-2020. In view of this, RCI has also decided to run only four years B.Ed course. From the upcoming session 2024-25, only 4-year B.Ed (Special Education) course will get recognition from RCI.
Teachers are given training to teach disabled children in special B.Ed courses. In this course, training is given keeping in mind the special needs of disabled children. In this, courses are conducted for people with disabilities like hearing, speech, visual impairment, mental disability etc. Now this course has been made a 4 year Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP) course. That means the 2 year special B.Ed course has been closed from next year. But for those who have already done 2 years special B.Ed course, it will be valid.
The Rehabilitation Council of India has issued an official notice in this regard on January 4, 2024. Candidates will be able to do only four-year special B.Ed course from session 2024-25. According to the notice issued by ICI, after the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020, now the 2-year special B.Ed course has been banned. Now only four years special B.Ed course will be conducted in the country.
