The ADE based B.Ed. (4Years) Elementary Teacher Education program addresses a critical need in the educational landscape and is specifically tailored for students entering in the 5th semester after completing their Associate Degree in Education (ADE). This program is strategically designed to build upon the foundational knowledge acquired during the ADE program while recognizing the pivotal role of secondary teachers in shaping the intellectual and personal growth of students. It ensures a cohesive educational journey that refines pedagogical skills, enhances subject matter expertise, and fosters a deeper understanding of educational theories by seamlessly transitioning students into the 5th semester of the existing B. Ed (4Years) Elementary Teacher Education program. This initiative not only streamlines the educational pathway for aspiring educators but also ensures that they enter the secondary education sector with a comprehensive and advanced skill set, ultimately contributing to the elevation of educational standards and the cultivation of a highly proficient teaching workforce.

Objectives of the Program

1. Provide prospective teachers with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of educational theories, instructional strategies, and pedagogical skills tailored for diverse secondary education settings, building upon the foundational knowledge acquired during their ADE program.
