The ever Evasive Equation
SB Global 's close association with schools, teachers and students have created in us an indelible impact on the phenomenal role a teacher plays in the lives of students across the world. Though this profession is deeply respected, it is a painful but truthful realisation that the educators are not treated on par with their professional counterparts on the socio economic scale. With the advent of AI, the roles educators play seems to have seen a sea change in all conceivable aspects. Nevertheless the role he or she plays in the life of children will continue to glow and shine. Though the NEP is a move in the right direction we have always felt that for the changes to be effectively implemented we need to ensure the quality of educators. It is a matter of great relief that the State Government has decided to implement the 4 year B.Ed course that will be introduced by 2030. This brings a ray of hope to revive the dismal quality of teachers in many schools today. Since the course will be introduced in Arts and Science Colleges, which are dying a natural death, as a new degree course, this will infuse renewed energy since teaching has always been a hot selling proposition for job aspirants. The syllabus is likely to be embedded in the subject and will maintain a teaching learning angle of the subject chosen by the candidate. Thus the Physics/ Maths/ English degree for a B.Ed student will be taught from the student-teacher point of view and hence will be more relevant and meaningful after completion. Needless to say the skills and attitude required for the teacher will be of top priority. Another heartening aspect of this decision is the exclusivity of the course. Admission into the course will be based on entrance exams. This will ensure that only the deserving will find a seat to create the impact on the generation next.
