Keeping in view the inadequate number of competent teachers against the growing students’ strength in the State, the Rajya Graduate Bekari Sangh has demanded establishment of BEd (Teachers Training) centre at the district level.
“Every year, only some 2,000 BEd students are enrolled in the existing centres in the State. As a result, we face unemployment situation and it also hampers the educational environment,” said Sangh president Subhransu Kumar Patra in a Press release on Monday.
lakhs of graduate students pass out every year. If any one of them wants to take admission in BEd courses, he or she is forced to migrate to other States in view of the inadequate number of BEd institutes in the State, rued Sangh general secretary Surya Narayan Gouda, adding that the 16 existing BEd colleges are not adequate. The Sangh has demanded lifting of the ban on introduction of private BEd centres and earliest steps to open at least one more center in each district.
