Prof Tarlok Bandhu : I started carrier as a college teacher in 1996, my speclisation MA Psychology, MEd and Phd in Education, Presentlhy 17 years I was working in Marwar Centre of College of education Ludhiana, I am working as a principal in Khalsa College of Education ….. since 2013 since last 8 years I am working as principal psychology and I used interact bed students on growth and development of learner, learner nature development educational psychology. This is grant in aid scheme of government of Punjab 95 % grant from government of Punjab. Affiliated to PU chandigarh 
There is only one programme BEd, Course started in 1956. One of the oldest college in North India. UGC started in 1955 and we started in 1956. 86 years, yes very old college.
Total intake 100 seats right from beginning 100 students are there. When the course was switched on two year programme we made one unit of 50 students. Every year we take 50 students so in one year total 100 students. 50 students 1st sem and 50 students in 3rd sem.  
2019 we admitted 42 students and 2018 admitted 49 students total we had 91 students. In 2020 we admitted 50 students. 50 and 42 of last year 92 total.
Here in our college we have teaching subject social studies, science, maths and three language English, Hindi and Punjabi. If you take 2020 data we admitted 50 students out of these 16 students opted for language Punjabi, 5 for Hindi and 16 English. As far as social science we had 20 students, 18 students for maths and 18 for science. In Punjab University there no demarcations as such when we allot these pedagogy subjects to students we take care that those who have done BSc non-medical allotted science and maths and those who have done BSc in medical we allot science and language. There are few cases like somebody done BTech are coming for doing BEd some students who have done BBA and some students from Law they are coming 3 or 4 students every year they are coming. Students are coming from different streams. This is not from old day, since last 2 years we are getting students from BTech, BBA, Law IT. May be they want to add one dimension to their carrier prospects because if they have done BTech they will joint only one stream. As a Civil engineer or a mechanical engineer, they only go to that profession. If they have done BEd they have chances of becoming teachers. Likewise if some have done BSC in IT and is coming for BEd it means the students wishes to join schools as a computer teacher lot many vacancies are evolving for those related to computer science they want to add some qualification they are not much in number few students.   
Usually this the area where our college is situation this is educationally backward area as far as literacy level is concerned we are at the lowest level compared to all the district this is backwards area. This area is very close the border of Pakistan there are certain other different problems in the field of education. But the students which we are getting in BEd they are not very high merit they are average kind of students. Scoring 60% or 70% marks something like that and this is their profile.  As compared to other colleges, in Mukser where I am working we have 5 BEd colleges this one is the only college which is getting 95% grants Punjab University.  The faculty is concerned, the curriculum co-curricular activities are concerned we lay lot of stress in the activities in the college, so this college is the 1st option to the students in our area as compared to other college. We are getting good students compared to other colleges. Like more than 85% students are girls like if u see the data of present batch, 50 students 42 studners of last batch, out of 92 students 22 students are boys. By and large we get 85% girl students, reasons being girls they think that this profession of teaching is suitable for them, because they thinks they have lot of time to after becoming teaching time to household work and extra activities apart from job responsibility holidays they catchy proposition for them. In Punjab majority of the colleges all are girls colleges BEd so that’s why majority of students are girl students choose BEd as profession they think that is the best profession for them to parting in the kind of set a weir living. 
It is through entrance test, Entrance Test conducted by one University centralized procedure every year the Govt of Punjab give this responsibility one university one State University to conduct admission for BEd colleges of the state. Affliated to all the three universities Punjab University, Chandigarh, Punjabi University Patiala, Gurunanak Dev University, Amritsar. there are 200 and odd affiliated to three universities this procedure of admission all these college is through CET which is conducted by one university for all the universities. 
It is objective type of questions they have multiple answeres so the students they are to tick correct answer it is of 150 marks and 30% are quaslifying marks. For SC students it is 25% marks i.e. 22 marks and general category students they have to score 30 marks. It varies from college to college some colleges there are 250 seats,  some colleges 150 seats some colleges 50 seats and some colleges 100 seats it varies. Actually if you see the research conducted 2020 47% seats were vacant. Only 53% seats were filled and 47% seats remained vacant. Last to last year it was the same situation actually when this course was switched on to 2 years programme, then number of students those who were opting BEd they starting you know on the declining this was reason they did not opt for this. The Last year Govt of Punjab, because of covid situation they waived off entrance test and admissions to be conducted on merit based admission even then 47% seats lying vacant. In 2019 when entrance test was conducted even then the number seats lying vacant. The number of sets of in Punjab is appx. 21000 but number of applications are very less. 
2 years programme is discouraging them and in the 2 years programme particularly the school internship programme for 16 weeks running to 4 – 5 months that’s is not good for students think this is not good the course is same but they have to spend lot of time to teaching practice that’s there is a decline in the number. The amount they have to spend is doubled in 2 years programme. Because it was 50 thousand and now it is 1 lac and they have to spend 6 months in school without stipend and any other thing this is the reason that students are not opting. When it was 1 year lot of students were there. 
Maths and Science out of 50 students usually opted for science and maths are roughly 25. This is almost 50%. Basic difference is there in the qualification they have done BSc and Arts students do BA and some of the students they come to us after MSc their profile is different from arts students. Exactly we can’t say that as far as their intellectual orientation is concerned we treat them at par. But they have different angularity to look at they have studied science naturally difference is there both are equally good.
I think mam there is no significant difference which is coming to the profile of students in the 1 year or 2 year course. The only difference I think is that they get lot of opportunities for co-curricular activities like in our college there are lot of activities are conducted related to social work related to NSS, debates, declamations, dances, school visits to see how the policies are conducted, anganwadi, RTE centers, lot more many activities are conducted. The school students get good exposure, for these activities in side of college and outside the institution both. 2nd point is that as far as school internship are concerned now it is of 16 weeks they are attending school from 8 to 2 as per the schedule of the school as per regular teacher they are learning everything they are taking classes they are setting paper, evaluation answer sheets, they are learning how midday meal data is compiled how grants are coming, how to get grants, how to admit a school how to shift a student to another school how to respond to the queries of government, they are learning many many things this was not possible in 1 year programme because it was 40 days and now it is 16 weeks they can feel school life actually.
Still they don’t like it because they think to travel from distance. Because some students travel from a far distance. The school allotted by govt of Punjab after taking options from the school. If some student is allotted 40 kms looking at that the school has no teacher and we are getting a teacher free of cost, and the students have to go to far flung areas it seems its benefit to go out side and do thing without getting anything. It is all purely govt schools. They want to practice but as per the govt of Punjab policy they allot only govt schools, that’s the Govt of Punjab policy because the data is sent to State of council of Education Research & Training, SCERT, they allot the schools. Majority of the colleges are self-financed colleges.
Even because they have to obey directions govt of Punjab. our students they are from you know lower socio economic status some of the students they are even taking education loans for studies. The parents of students by and large are laborers and working in MANREGA or small shop keepers or some are working as teachers. Socio economic status is not good. Students come to us and ask for concession fees usually and majority of the students ask to divide the total fees into 3 – 4 installments this is the routine thing here. Per year 48000 or something around Rs.50000. 96000 to 1 lakh In 2 years College fees and Rs.10000 exam fees to be given to the university. 
Other alternative they join MA courses or PG Diploma in Computer in my experience says those who have join BEd courses they will join, they are not denied admissions the seats are vacant because the seats are remaining vacant. Mam actually there are few students who like to become teacher but they are students take BEd as lost resort that they did not get admission in the courses of their choice. Some of the students are getting admission to BEd as they want to go abroad, Punjab university.. course and it is recognized in USA, Canada and UK so they opt for this course because to go outside and make their score to join the institution or job in the foreign land this is how it is coming up.
Punjab University degree course is recognsied with some bridge course, it’s a commonwealth university.  These are some of the things.
What they like: they actually the first thing which they like is the subjects are taught in the programme some student come from BSc medical or non-medical, some students from BA Economics, political science and History here when they join they have to study philosophical based education, sociological based education, the psychology, the teaching techniques the scean of contemporary education, the ICT based education, the methodology of teaching all these subject are new to students this is very interesting part learning new subject they are curious psychology philosophy sociology so this is one point, Second point is that the activities that are conducted here because we many activities as per the potentiality of student. We try to place the student in that activity so every student is provided opportunity for confidence building, for stage performance, many activities which they miss during their graduation programme. These are the two catchy programmes which are prominent.
Usually mam in this programme they don’t complaint about many things but the Teaching Practice programme which is of 16 weeks they don’t want to go for this teaching practice programme which is too long, they think that they have to do lot of assessment work, lot of sessional work and which they have were not supposed to do in their graduation programme. They think that in this there is a cognitive overload in their BEd class. This is their major point of contention they are overloaded programmes, they have to do many many things, they do not time to relax or study to do something in their leisure time. They are also busy in preparing teaching models, aids, assignments on the spot making teaching aid etc. This is their major complaint.
Students when they compare syllabus of 1 year programme and 2 year programme, they think that nothing has changed the as far as content is concerned, apart from internship programme that is expanded that is stretched out rest are same. they have to spend lot of money than 1 year to 2 years they have to spend lot of money they have to face the exams four times at the end of semester. So this is the problem. 
TET: students don’t have this I am talking in the context of Punjab here TET is not a big problem. Students appear if they are interested they are concerned about another test which is introduced by the government of Punjab, you have to quality TET and if your subject is social studies after qualifying TET you are asked to pass through another test and again have to pass through exclusive test related to social studies. They don’t have problem with test through TET its ok and again testing for the subject they find it a problem. They think there should be one test, whatever the level of difficulty there should be only one test and no another test after TET, if you are qualified that one test that should be ok, , if you are conducting another test after TET test what is the fun you conduct a test about subject many students could not pass subject test they have passed TET but not passed subject rest, they were not scrutinized student don’t like subject rest, retesting they don’t like, TET no problem. 
May be the level of difficulty is very high and may be the agenda of the govt is that let only a few get passed students this examination and they don’t come to us seeking for jobs.  The pass % is very low and in TET also and further lower down in subject test. Pass % is very low TET. They have job opportunities in Private schools, Academies, digital platforms because they dont ask for TET qualification, if you have to join govt jobs then you have to show certificate of TET. In Private schools or in so called English medium schools they have no problem they simply recruit you and the pay is negotiable so they opt to go to private schools. Some of them are in digital platform there they teach, some of them are indulged in tuitions some of them have started own academies there they teach. This kind of things.
I have seen when I take their class of Educational psychology, college from day 1 when they exit after 2 years after doing BEd major change level of confidents which they gain, their level of performing on various activities ability to conduct in a class and school is enhanced they, know how to go for this, how day can be celebrated, they know how to go about, they know how assembly is organized, how a day celebrated, they know parts of activities, they know how to manage stage, how to address the audience, their confidence level is enhances, they know many hidden part of their potentials which are unexplored in their degree college or when they were doing BA programme. They go with lot of their personality their enhanced abilities and unfolded potentialities they go with that I have seen.  
We get a very good feed back from Head of the school after sending our students to schools the reason behind it is after sending our students to the schools for teacher practice programme we don’t leave the students in the school, we are continuously in touch with our students, we keep on visiting the schools and we keep on observing the students and their lessons and give marks in their note books. we are continuously in touch with the mentor teachers and head of institution. so it is continuous observation and vigil we keep on. So our students they are perform the way we want to them to perform. The students are performing as per the requirement of the schools. Especially I have said in the beginning that this is educationally backward area and in many schools the posts of the teachers are lying vacant. Posts of teachers are not filled by the government. Whenever our students join the schools as teachers they find schools don’t have maths or SS teachers. There they are going for internship there they are performing duties of the teachers, they are learning and covering syllabus and conducting activities also over a period of time we are getting good feedback from the head of the institutions. Not only students are performing but we are also keeping a tab on them about what they are doing, we are continuously in touch with heads of the institutions. 
Usually students do not keep in touch after they pass out, after taking their certificates they are not in touch but few students who are meritorious students we try to keep in touch with them what they are doing majority have joined teaching, they join school they say that when we join the school we try to apply the knowledge gained in BEd we tried to apply the practical work which we learn in the class room but it is difficult because there are lot more activities acquired by a government teacher because of some level of non teaching work assigned to them, they are not able to do justice to the students then want to do something creative new novel but opportunities are meager opportunities they have to do lot many other duties this what they say. Opportunity is not there. 60% of our students quality TET or CTET. Majority will be eligible only 5-6% only will not quality majority will be quality even the subject tests. Very important point when our faculty members are interacting with students on day today basis they discuss issue of education with them from that angle also the way question are designed in TET, the objective questions are there in TET they say that this topic we have covered and questions from this type topic may be framed for object type and then our teachers offer special time for them in tutorial groups for their preparation of TET it may be numerical or mental ability problems which are in TET they offer special time, our teachers, we provide books, materials question banks for preparation of TET it is a regular basis the day one we say you have to clear TET after two years why not you start working from today, some students quality in the second or third semester also without they complete BEd class.
May be there are certain colleges in Chandigarh there is pool of data in other colleges, they don’t share the data, there are certain old colleges 2 college in Chandigarh and they may qualify in Central TET. They do preparation second is that their schooling college education this is basically the have good base that’s why they are able to do it. The difference lies with how they are preparing the students from the school level school. From they started suppose studying mental ability from school level certainly they will perform better. In Chandigarh the schools are board and colleges of board they have full faculty they start preparing from the beginning. So much matters in this. 
Usually here in our area the students I have seen there is practice in sending the resume to all the schools that I have qualified in BEd and my specialization is Social science or any other subject these are my credentials and I want to join school this is one. Another is that we have in our college we take resume of our best students 10% we recommend to various schools at our own level these are the good students they have acquired very good teaching skills they have good knowledge of subject matter so this teacher should be an asset to your institution we mend also students also sent at their own level they go to schools seeking job. Campus recruitment is not in practice here. Newspaper advertisements are there local newspaper carry vacancies in the local schools they also keep on looking this particular area. They apply after looking at the newspaper insertions these are the some of the channels they seek jobs. In Punjab when the posts are advertised for teachers they mention that this particular teacher this particular posts are meant for elementary students, so when the post is for elementary they say that the qualification required DLED ETT elementary training if they have posts in highschools or senior secondary schools they want BEd if some meritorious schools or for the post of lecturers they mention MA this partition is there is they are looking for pre-school like nursery LKG or UKG now it is started in schools also, they ask for NTT. That categorization is there it is the sweet bell of the teacher wasn’t to go for ETT or NTT it is the sweet bell of the teacher the government is not forcing that you have is done BEd you have to NTT, they have categorized the elementary, senior secondary school, high school, primary so they are placed as per their qualification if they are ready to teach in the lower classes then government has no problem. Majority seek Government jobs only few opt for private schools majority have qualified TET are placed in government schools. They go to job they become eligible and whenever posts are come they are usually selected. 
Exactly I don’t have the data, I think 50% of the students they have probably got government jobs to me, because they have qualified for TET so they have got the government jobs. 
Mam, in private schools there this salary component is very low slab , it depends on school to school if it is a very small school running in a street or a mohalla very small school, public school, large number of students or a convent private schools varies from one school to another schools it depends on the skills of the teachers, performance in interview they negotiate they don’t have any lower slab for that so it is in the hands of management there is not concrete that this is the minimum they are paying they keep on changing. I think they start from 6 or 7 thousand in private schools. It can go up to 25,000 maximum. Very very few from the point is that NGOs are not working they are functional in this area we don’t have any the culture of NGOs are not like that of in TASS or in Mumbai so the culture is not there here in Punjab in totality and in our area NGOS only one NGO Pratham is working high and only 2 or 3 of our students in have seen in last 8 years they joined Pratham and they were conducting surveys and all. People are not of aware that this type -- there are only one or two NGOs here. That’s also got. 
See Mam, the four year programme it was introduced in Punjab Univ Campus and a few college 2 or 3 colleges of Punjab affiliated PU, Chandigarh it was started. But it could not get the candidates who joined this programme only a few students opted, say there are 50 students in take 4 or 5 students opted for this 4 year programme. I think the reason the course is starts after plus 2 and students who is to become teacher, in our society and in our system, the students are not clear and decided about what he is going to do. Usually they decide it after graduation that the students decide I want to become a teacher I have to go for BEd or MEd and this particular subject there is no clarity of the vision at plus 2 level. There are very few candidates who think in this way there are very few parents encourage, motivate their children to join as a teacher or take as a profession the decision to become a teacher it is not coming at plus 2 level that’s why this course is not become hit course this number 1. Number 2 what is that after doing BEd when you complete your course you have to qualify TET after that you have to quality subject test and after 1st you decide plus 2 level then you qualifyy BA, BEd then qualify TET and then subject test and ultimately you are selected for teaching position you are offered a contractual appointment for three years on a meager amount of 10,000. SO you will be regularized after three years till then you will be on the same salary and that is happening nobody knows. Ultimately you know the alignment catching them is not there in this students they are not willing because it is not lucrative it is not something attracts them this course is very very difficult to run. BA BEd programme no matter that the students are saving one year but after doing BA BEd he can only become a teacher he can only join a school. So that also depends on his ability pass through TET and subject test if he is dong BA he can go certain competition he will have lot many opportunities to explore here his options are closed he can only go for teaching profession I think the approach of introducing BA BEd is not going take the students very far because nobody thinking that this I want to become a teacher as I told you this is the last resort if they don’t have anything else they choose this course. Moreover you see the subject of education, education as a discipline is not introduced in schools of Punjab or senior secondary schools. I know in Maharashtra there is an option that they can study education as a subject at plus 2 level. They have a very good book designed on education but in Punjab this option is not there students do not know about education they don’t know what teaching is they don’t know what learning is so how they can decide about joining about full-fledged BA BEd course they don’t have any understanding of this. So its a long way to go first of all we have to introduce this subject i think in schools that we have to make them familiar with this and the importance of teaching only then the students would start coming to this course and it is going take time and our side is not that level of awareness yes I want to become a teachers after plus 2 there are a few students. So that’s not the area for this course at the moment.
Yes Mam, the situation is in grim scenario BEd education colleges are closing down in the last year when we were taking admission, four colleges they did not get any candidates they were blank no admission in BEd this situation it shows that the course and 27 colleges there are only 25% students they are 100 seats only 25 seats are filled in this case it is very difficult to run the college without students and without the fees and those who are not getting any grant from the government. So ultimately they are going to close, there is policy that standalone colleges will be closed down. I think this ………… college of education is concerned. Our college can be converted to BA BEd, we have an affiliated Degree college and one plus 2 level school that also in grant in aid we can do that. 
It was really tough time for all of us here is the faculty to interact with the students when we got direction from the university and Govt of Punjab to go online so actually we had no preparation for that the students we never knew majority of the students they are in remote hunter land villages where they don’t have any connectivity of net students don’t have smart phone they cannot connect with us. If we had class of 50 students only 10 or 15 students they joined us. So it was not kind of equal or level field of playing for everybody Majority of the students were at the loosing end they were unable to connect this was the major problem we could not share contact with the student. This happened. They were unable to come to the institution and we were unable to interact fact to face with them or in physical setting but it was a problem they don’t have this kind of infrastructure net and to do activity through required speed and quantum of internet this was the problem number 1, number 2 what the faculty never trained in this way to go online and teach the students in steak when students not there in from of them. It was a problem for them they were not initially they were not comfortable and now slowly and slowly they have set in the things upto certain level, initially it was very difficult to switch on to this mode and coop up with the situation to start a class with 25 students and after certain lapse of time students leaving your class they switch off the voice or video and end of the lesson there are only 2 students, the content sharing was difficult,. You are not there and content could not be shared whatever the students learnt they learned at their level the examinations and papers were taken online and it was kind of open book examination so whatever written they have written without comprehending the meaning of the subject of the without knowing the subject without capturing the ……. of the subject without qualifying the concept of the subject. They have just done it so I think there are going shape up in to good subject experts or teachers because of this kind of things missing this can be taking supplement as teaching, but not as a whole story. But here we have to look at as a whole story. So there were problems and I think the quality of interaction quality sharing knowledge quality of molding the teacher in to a fruitful human being, with these things they have suffered a lot during this covid situation. 
Actually student since last March 2021 this lockdown was imposed student they were in a relaxing mood, they were doing things at their own level the way they wanted so if any point of time we ask the students to come to college like you have taken this vaccination those who have administered the 1st dose they can come to the college you don’t come in large numbers you come in group of 10 we will interact with you and not in large number you come to college to us we will taking your classes, some students, you come in the morning at 8 and you go back at 12 in the noon and next 10 students you come at 1 and go at 4 we will be interacting with 20 students in a day but students laid back they have you know now conditioned to be at home and learning in their own way, own study habits they don’t want to come. This is a problem you have to literally rope in to them to  come to the college and everything is there in online they are asking let us get this skill in teaching and practical examination in online teaching I said how is possible we have to look at many skills we have to see your performance we have to see how you are using teaching aid how are introducing it, how you are conducting tests if the students are not in front of you yes they have taken things as granted now it is covid or no covid this is most damaging thing which they are not understanding and it is very damaging, Online we tried our best to do something, we encouraged our students to prepare the mask and distribute in the society, to prepare some sanitizers to do the gardening plantation and at all the levels and whatever the social constructions to put it that way , but they are ultimately they don’t know the saddest part if that the students they are not understanding that this is their loss. They are rather happy things are happening online ultimately they will not be able to delivery when they will be asked to do in the class room and its difficult they don’t understand this is the saddest part. 
For faculty development there is no problem no restrictions on us. So our teachers whenever they wish to do some refresher orientation course or short term course they can do that no problem we always encourage our faculty members to do that and regularly we pay them salary as per grant in aid scheme of government of Punjab. There may be certain problems at one point of time but by and large it is fine and no problem. We are concerned with the our faculty development some of our faculty members have done some very good courses online also offline also we encourage our teachers to participate in the human resource programmes by UGC they are also attending online courses that is no problem. Their orientation programmes no problem, we manage things. 
NCTE yes Mam, NCTE see basically was there to regulate the teacher education institutions ensure quality but in think NCTE has not played the role as it was basicaslly messaged when it was constituted now it is a just they are asking some kind of data you upload send these data these documents something like that, it seems that they are not bothering teacher education institutions exactly you know what, exact need to the institutions. They don’t have, they just collect data through online mode and actually what is happening at the ground level they are bothering about it. 
We don’t have any issues with Punjab University, affiliating body exam conducting agency, we are doing work as per their directions we have no issues in the jobs. 
No Mam it was very nice you have covered a wide range of questions so just I want to I have said it earlier also I wish like to add it that you know when we are converting a programme like we converted 1 year problem to 2 year now we have designed integrated BA BEd programme. I think before doing these kind of drastic changes we should be concerned serious delivery issues with all the States. I think if we are just introducing from the top we are pouring on us let us start with BA BEd programme what is the possibility at the ground level the possibility of running I am opting this course I am a recruitment faculty of BA BEd programme 13 teachers 43 students and only 2 students are there what will I do? is there any feasibility? Can this course be run. Instead of just you know dropping this course on us or any ……. we should see the ground reality serious. We should take in to consideration what will happen to the colleges running BA BEd programme. What actually when the BA BEd 2 year programme I know when this course was introduced we conducted seminars here why this 2 years programme, some recommendations which were sent to MHRD, so I think from the ground level we must take data like you are discussing you have raised many many good points these kind of interactions should be there in the field of teacher education we are doing like nobody is thinking of introducing education at school level as subject, I am very happy that govt of Maharashtra school education of Maharashtra they have done it they have come up with very good open education as a multicolored books with all the philosophies and basics its very good and I appreciate it. But all the other states should also follow it why not NCERT are doing it, why not before starting this course NCTEs putting effort to pass this resolution let us start from beginning before introducing this BA BEd course after plus 2 these things are part. We can only give our inputs whatever little we know.
