Education:Notice to 28 B.Ed colleges who do not follow the rules

The National Council of Teacher Education has issued notices to 28 colleges, including 3 government B.Ed colleges, for non-compliance with the rules. The action was taken after it was revealed that many unqualified professors, without even basic facilities in private colleges, provided substandard training with principals.

Further, notice has been issued to explain the allegation that the higher education department has been negligent in not appointing professors in Coimbatore, Vellore and Saidapet government colleges for many years.

In addition, the National Council of Teacher Education has decided to revoke the accreditation of 12 private colleges.
