NCTE REGULATIONS,2009 ( For B.Ed Course )

NCTE REGULATIONS,2009 ( FOR M.Ed Course )

PROBLEM As per NCTE Regulations, 2014 most of the Teachers Training Institution of West Bengal will be able to teach only one basic unit of 50 students for the coming academic session 2015-16 (for B.Ed). In that case, the total number of pass out student teachers will be approximately 50 % of the previous academic session. Besides in the academic session 2016-17 no trained teachers will come out as because the regular B.Ed course will be of two years duration. As per RTE Act, 2009 after 31.03.2015 it is not possible to recruit any untrained teachers in the upper primary and secondary schools of West Bengal. So a huge gap will be created between the demand and supply of the human resources in respect to recruitment of teachers in Schools of West Bengal.

So a huge gap will be created between the demand and supply of the human resources in respect to recruitment of teachers in Schools of West Bengal.

Proposed Action : So to cope up with the situation, Higher Education Deptt. may intimate to the NCTE Authority that we will like to start the regular B.Ed & M.Ed course for 2 years from the coming academic session i.e. from 2015-16 following NCTE Regulations, 2014 with revised Curriculum and evaluation pattern. Higher Education Deptt. may take initiative to form a uniform curriculum for B.Ed/ M.Ed, B.P.Ed / M.P.Ed courses in the light of NCTE Regulations, 2014. Two committees (one for B.Ed & M.Ed curriculum and another for B.P.Ed & M.P.Ed curriculum) may be formed for the said purposes.

We may also request the Chairperson, NCTE [vide item No.12 (power to relax) of NCTE (Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulations, 2014 published in The Gazette of India: Extraordinary, Part III, Sec-4, dated 01.12.2014] to allow B.Ed Colleges to admit 100 students in 1 st year with existing teaching faculty (1+7) and existing infrastructure for the coming Academic Session (2015-16). Proposed Action :

The existing Teacher Education Institutions, wherever necessary as per the revised Norms and Standards, shall provide additional built up area, create additional infrastructure, appoint additional staff and furnish additional Reserve Fund per unit per programme by October 31, 2015. However, if the institution is not willing to fulfill the norms prescribed in the New Regulations as mentioned above, its recognition will automatically become invalid as the old Regulations have already been superceded.

Additional Reserve Fund: If an existing recognized institution has not maintained the Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund for all the courses it is running; it shall be required to do so at the new rates (Endowment Fund Rs.5.00 lakh Rupees / programme /unit & Reserve Fund Rs. 7.00 Lakh Rupees / programme /unit) in respect of the programme for which it has not maintained the two funds. In respect of the existing programme(s), if Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund have already been maintained, the Institutions shall not be required to deposit the balance with the Bank in the form of a FDR. If an Institution is running two programmes and it has FDRs for Rs.8.00 lakhs, it shall be required to obtain FDRs for Rs.12.00 lakhs for the second programme. Additional Reserve Fund: If an existing recognized institution has not maintained the Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund for all the courses it is running; it shall be required to do so at the new rates (Endowment Fund Rs.5.00 lakh Rupees / programme /unit & Reserve Fund Rs. 7.00 Lakh Rupees / programme /unit) in respect of the programme for which it has not maintained the two funds. In respect of the existing programme(s), if Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund have already been maintained, the Institutions shall not be required to deposit the balance with the Bank in the form of a FDR.

PROPOSED ACTION The Self-financing Institutions may be requested to take the necessary initiative to meet up the above criterion regarding additional built up area, additional infrastructure, additional staff and additional Reserve Fund per unit per programme. In case of the Government and Government aided Institutions, State Government may take initiative for additional built up area and additional infrastructure.

But to appoint additional staff in Govt. and Govt.-aided college there are several steps need to be followed subject to approval from the Higher Authority: Collection of necessary information regarding existing staff pattern, vacancy list and new posts to be created for satisfying the NCTE regulations, 2014 from different Teachers Training Colleges of West Bengal. Determination of financial liability of the State Government for creation of these new posts. Necessary ratification for change of the nomenclature of the existing posts. But to appoint additional staff in Govt. and Govt.-aided college there are several steps need to be followed subject to approval from the Higher Authority: Collection of necessary information regarding existing staff pattern, vacancy list and new posts to be created for satisfying the NCTE regulations, 2014 from different Teachers Training Colleges of West Bengal. Determination of financial liability of the State Government for creation of these new posts. Necessary ratification for change of the nomenclature of the existing posts.

Creation of the new teaching and non-teaching posts on the basis of approval from the Higher Authority. Framing of the recruitment rules as per new regulations after necessary clarification from NCTE and UGC. Necessary advertisement by different Service Commissions like Public Service Commission, College Service Commission etc. for undertaking Selection process & Filling up of the posts. Creation of the new teaching and non-teaching posts on the basis of approval from the Higher Authority. Framing of the recruitment rules as per new regulations after necessary clarification from NCTE and UGC. Necessary advertisement by different Service Commissions like Public Service Commission, College Service Commission etc. for undertaking Selection process & Filling up of the posts.

We need at least 12 to 18 months time to complete the process. Besides both for the Government and Govt.-aided Colleges, State Government already formulated the recruitment rules following the then NCTE & UGC regulations and the process is ongoing for recruitment of teaching faculties including the Principals. So Higher Education Department may seek permission from the NCTE Authority to recruit the academic faculties following the already published recruitment rules till January 2016, so that in between we can take necessary steps for recruitment of the staff following NCTE Regulations, 2014 after necessary clarification.

EXEMPTION OF ENDOWMENT FUND In the NCTE Regulations, 2014 there is no mention of exemptions regarding deposition of Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund for Govt. and Govt.-aided Institution as enjoyed by them at present. Under the existing system similar provision for exemption of Endowment Fund and Reserve Fund may be made for Govt. and Govt.-aided Institution by NCTE with the intervention of Higher Education Department, Govt. of West Bengal.

Each Teachers Training Institution is instructed by the NCTE Authority to take the necessary action to comply with the NCTE (Recognition Norms and Procedure) Regulations, 2014 [vide Gazette Notification,Gazette of India: Extraordinary, Part III, Sec-4 New Delhi, dated 01.12.2014] and to submit the affidavit in the prescribed format within 21 days from the date of receipt of the letter from the NCTE Authority. NCTE will issue order of recognition w.e.f. 2015-16 after submission of the affidavit. Important Issue

All the bodies are requested to extend their co-operation to the State Govt. to complete this gigantic task of Teacher Training following NCTE Regulations,2014 in West Bengal within the stipulated time.
