Distance - Bachelor of Education

Teaching students is a difficult task and requires vigorous training and skill-building. The Bachelors in Education or B.Ed is a degree course that trains students to become teachers. It is a teacher training course where teachers are equipped with skills required for teaching students. A degree in B Ed is now mandatory to become eligible for teaching in government or private schools and colleges in India.  Looking at the shortage of teaching staff in India and the willingness of people to learn the course at home through distance education, the National Council For Teacher Education has started the B Ed Course in distance mode.

This 2-year course equips students with not only the technical but also practical skills required to perform a remarkable teaching task. All major universities in India offer the B Ed distance education degree course for the time duration of at least 2 years.

The basic outcomes from the B. Ed course are:

  1. Understanding the educational system in India

  3. To train teachers to understand the teaching–learning process taking into consideration language diversity, thereby systematizing learning experiences
