National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE) has issued notices to the 1,000 BEd and DEd colleges as they filed to submit the requisite data. The news was confirmed by the Union Human Resource Development Ministry official.
"NCTE has already issued 1,000 showcause notices to stop affiliation with NCTE and thereafter, these colleges will not be able to admit students for BEd and DEd courses. 3,000 more showcause notices will be issued soon," said Anil Swarup, Secretary, School Education and Literacy, in the ministry.
The NCTE has asked 16,000 B.Ed. and D.Ed. colleges to submit the affidavits and only 12000 institutes have compiled with the request so far, he said.
"I think the biggest mafia in the education sector are some BEd and DEd colleges and some of them do not exist bust exist in names. We took them on," he said at an interactive session organised by Merchants`Chamber of Commerce.
