when education is imparted it must reflect. So has it in the past. I wonder as to how learning was far more effective than what it is today. But then I have clear indications. It is because the teachers were mostly embodiments of knowledge and apostles of wisdom. The NCERT a responsible custodian of Indian school education among some, shed off its responsibility and paved the way for constituting a national body to look after the crippled and diseased teacher training plethora. Thus appeared the giant of teacher training national police man. After making its gigantic appearance it probably intended to notify itself to the schools in India and so it issued orders that there shall be no teacher training course offered through correspondence and thus disbanded all universities from running the courses in correspondence mode. The universities accepted the orders as if they were only the agents of the course and that NCTE can do what ever it feels regarding teacher training even if it alleges the universities that they had run the course illegally or inefficiently or they were incompetent. Thus the Bed course offered for decades by universities in correspondence mode having produced many trained teachers and naturally they are predominantly the working teachers in schools today....probably NCTE views them as illegal certificate holders.
Then comes the more interesting fact that while no university in the country was allowed to offer Bed by correspondence there was one university which was granted the permission to run it as desired, that is the IGNOU. Of course, NCTE has kept ready a detailed justification for granting monopoly to IGNOU! It reminds me of the East India Company and its settlements in India.
More about course and curriculum--hold on please

Dear Sir,
It is easier to critise the system but what is the alternative? We can not compare ourself with the countries where the population is less than a billion.
