Tribune News ServiceRavinder SainiRohtak, February 26The National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE), a statutory body set by the Centre to lay down norms and standards for various teacher education courses, has withdrawn the recognition granted to all 395 Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs), including around 20 government institutions, across the state for running the Diploma in Elementary Education (D.EL.Ed) course. The D.EL.Ed course, with a total intake of 21,050, is, at present, being run in the TEIs across the state. The admissions were done by the State Council of Educational Research and Training, Gurugram, through counselling. Khola said the NCTE was the only authority which can disapprove or discontinue the course across the nation while the state authorities were only confined to do admissions and to conduct exams. “Surprisingly, the course is being run in other states as usual, while the Haryana Government has discontinued it without any valid reason,” he claimed.
