Four year integrated BEd goal – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 specifies that by 2030 the minimum qualification for schoolteachers will be a four-year integrated B.Ed. degree offered in multidisciplinary institutions, combining subject depth with strong professional training.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because a one-year certificate after school does not provide adequate disciplinary and pedagogical preparation for teaching.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it directly states the four-year integrated B.Ed. requirement that NEP sets as the minimum teacher qualification.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since a brief orientation course cannot replace comprehensive initial teacher education.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because a generic bachelor’s degree without B.Ed. training does not meet the professional standards the policy wants for teachers.
