Come January and Jadavpur University (JU) will directly offer BEd courses to the students.
Acting on the higher education department’s instruction, the executive council (EC) of the university on Wednesday withdrew affiliation from Jadavpur Vidyapith’s BEd course, classes for which are held in the evening. The course was run by the National Council of Education, Bengal, but under affiliation from Jadavpur University.
The council has directed the arts faculty of the university to create an education department, which will be responsible for offering the course directly. The department has also been asked to frame a new syllabus and structure the course. The university will chalk out its admission procedure.
JU will now find from the higher education department about the number of liabilities and sanctioned teaching posts for BEd at Jadavpur Vidyapith. This will be followed by setting up of the education department with a requisite number of teachers and other necessary teaching tools for offering the programme.
At present, Jadavpur Vidyapith has 200 seats and JU will try to keep that number intact. “Since there are no students, so the shift will not create any problem. We will try to start the course by January, but if it creates problem in maintaining parity at the all-India level, we will have to offer the course from July 2008,” said Partha Pratim Biswas, member of the JU executive council. mou.hindustantimes@yahoo.com
