Education

National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) to reform and improve teacher education has notified various changes in the pattern of course from one-year duration to two years course. Based on the shift of duration, NCTE published a curricular framework on teacher education wherein the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) program was also included. The framework plans the course to spread over four semesters, out of which one semester is completely devoted to practical oriented or internship. Though the framework was prepared by the NCTE, different universities have prepared their curricular structure adapting to the framework published by NCTE. Mizoram University and North Eastern Hill University are two Universities in North East India that offer the course of B.Ed. The policy of the government in education may have an impact directly on education but teacher education plays the first and foremost important role to change the development of society psychologically and economically. As the quality of teacher education which existed in the region has a serious impact on the quality of education in their serving area, a study has been undertaken to assess and analyze the curricular structure of both universities concerning Bachelor of Education. This article is a presentation of the findings of the study.
