NCTAE Proposal REVISED SYLLABUS OF D.E.C.Ed., & D.El.Ed., Courses
National Council for Teacher Education ( NCATE ) has developed the National Curriculum Frame Work for the Teacher Education (NCFTE, 2009) and placed it in public domain for use by all stakeholders. The State Governments/SCERT were expected to develop curriculum for specific teacher education courses in pursuance of NCFTE, 2009.
In various seminars, workshops and other forums, it has been constantly felt that the curriculum of teacher education courses, being followed were out dated and needed revision. The State Governments / SCERT must have engaged themselves in the exercise of revising the syllabi. As such, in order to the facilitate them in this exercise. NCTE has developed a suggestive curriculum for two teacher education courses (i) Diploma in Early Childhood Education Programme leading to Diploma in Early Childhood Education ( D.E.C.Ed.) and (ii) Elementary Teacher Education Programme leading to Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.,).

Therefore, if you have suggestions/comments, which may be used by other State/SCERTs, you may send them to NCTE.Your suggestion/comments would be considered at the time of revision of these guidelines.
