Teachers' training essential for nation building: Punjab Guv
Punjab governor Gulab Chand Kataria on Monday said teacher training is important for building the nation's future. Chairing the Punjab vice chancellors and directors' conference at Lovely Professional University, he said, 'The school-level education lays the foundation for a student's life as the learning at this stage remains with the pupils throughout their lives. Therefore, the preparation and professional training of teachers becomes very important for building the nation's future.' During the conference, a discussion was held on the National Education Policy 2020 proposed by the central government under which an Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP) is to be launched. Under this policy, the course, which earlier followed graduation, is proposed to be made into a four-year programme. The governor stated that the new education policy emphasises making teacher training more scientific and systematic. He said that the Punjab government is also taking several initiatives to implement this new policy, and many universities in the state have already started the new course. He expressed confidence that today's conference will inspire other universities to start this course as well, thereby strengthening the education system of Punjab. Additionally, Kataria held meetings on NAAC grading and the drug problem in the state. Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha member Ashok Kumar Mittal, founder chancellor of the LPU, said the university was honoured to have hosted such a dialogue on higher education. Kataria also participated in a Vijay Yatra and paid tributes to the Pahalgam victims besides hailing the valour of the armed forces during Operation Sindoor. 'India will not hesitate to take the strictest military action against any terrorist threat,' he said. Terming the army's swift and decisive response to Pakistan's cowardly act in Pahalgam as unprecedented in the nation's history, the governor said India gave a strong message to the world that any act of terror against Indian citizens will be met with resolute force. Calling Punjab the land of saints, soldiers and martyrs, Kataria said the unwavering support shown by Punjabis during Operation Sindoor uplifted the morale of the armed forces. Drawing a parallel between protecting borders and preserving society, he made a passionate appeal to every Punjabi to become a soldier in the war against drugs.

BEd admissions in Maharashtra: CET Cell to conduct state-level entrance test on June 20
In an important update for aspiring teachers, admission to the four-year BA/BSc-BEd (Integrated) course in Maharashtra will be based on a state-level entrance test to be conducted by the state's Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell on June 20 and not a national-level entrance test. In March, the state government had announced the discontinuation of the four-year BA/BSc-BEd (Integrated) course starting from the 2025-26 academic year, as it was going to be replaced by the Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP), a new four-year teacher training program in line with the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) guidelines. Admission to the ITEP course in Maharashtra was going to be based on a national-level entrance test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). But even as aspirants waited for clarity on NTA's entrance test, a public notice was issued by the Maharashtra CET Cell recently declaring that admission to the BA/BSc-BEd (Integrated) course in the state will be as per the existing practice for this academic year. The public notice dated May 28 said, 'The NCTE, New Delhi (NCTE) has issued a public notice dated May 5, stating that the four-year B.A./ (Integrated) course will be discontinued from the academic year 2026-27 instead of 2025-26 and the present course will be converted into a four-year Integrated Teacher Training Course (ITEP) course. As a result, the Department of Higher Education, Mantralaya has directed that a CET and Centralized Admission Process (CAP) should be implemented for the four-year BA/BSc-BEd (Integrated) course only for the academic year 2025-26, by the Maharashtra CET Cell.' The online registration for the CET will be held between June 2 and June 15. After the announcement of the CET results, a separate schedule will be issued by the Maharashtra CET Cell for the centralised admission process for the four-year BA/BSc-BEd (Integrated) course. The move comes as a relief for many institutions offering this course. 'Since the announcement, several colleges were confused about the process of conversion from the existing BEd to IETP. Furthermore, there was little time to complete the process before the new academic year starts in June/July. This extension of a year will allow all colleges adequate time to plan ahead,' said the principal of a BEd college in Mumbai.
