Friends,
I too was the member of B.Ed. syllabus revision committee and actively
involved in preparing the syllabus for inclusive education for Mumbai
University. In Mumbai university it is going to be a compulsory paper and it
is named as " Creating Inclusive class-rooms. We will focus mainly along
with other things on the strategies for creating inclusive environment in
schools and class-rooms. But doing this we will also broaden the scope of
inclusion not delimiting it only to children with special educational needs
but inclusive of even socially and economically disadvantaged children.

They have provided only the structure of two year programme and the
included courses so far.
We will be having a joint colleges meeting in the department on 16th
of this month where different committees will be constituted for
preparing course content.
I will update you as soon as I would get information about it.

Well I am lucky enough to be the part of entire proceedings regarding
two years B.Ed and M.Ed course designing in the department of
education D.U.
I think its a welcoming move of NCTE to introduce two years B.Ed and
M.Ed courses instead of one year as we are committed to produce good
teachers in the nation.
As per the introduction of special needs course goes, I would inform
you that it has not been given desirable space in the curriculum as it
is being kept of a 50 marks paper merely. And that to in the second
year of the programme.

And, that became possible because the B.Ed courses all over India have
become of 2 years duration and they do not have much to teach in the
B.Ed
curriculum at this moment.

BASANT KUMAR MOHANTY
New Delhi, April 13: The National Council for Teacher Education has
introduced a compulsory paper on how to teach children with special
needs in its revised BEd and MEd syllabi.
The decision followed a countrywide survey last year that showed that
nearly six lakh physically or mentally challenged children between six
and 13 didn't go to school.
The NCTE last week signed an agreement with the Rehabilitation Council
of India (RCI), which has been regulating courses on special
education, to help prepare the curriculum and modules for the
compulsory paper that would be part of the general BEd and MEd
courses.
"The BEd and MEd courses did not have any compulsory paper on how to
teach special children. This year we have incorporated four compulsory
papers and one of them is on special education," NCTE chairperson
Santosh Panda told The Telegraph.
While the NCTE regulates general BEd and MEd courses, the RCI is the
controlling authority for courses on teaching people with
disabilities.
Panda said the RCI has agreed to increase the duration of BEd and MEd
courses on special education from one year to two years from the
2015-16 academic session starting in July-August to align with the
NCTE pattern. In January this year, the NCTE had decided to switch to
a two-year format.
The RCI has also agreed to train at least one teacher from all the
17,000 BEd and MEd colleges across the country in special education.
According to the National Sample Survey of Estimation - conducted by
the NGO Social and Rural Research Institute in collaboration with the
PSU Educational Consultants India Ltd in 2014 - some 60.41 lakh
children in the 6-13 age group didn't go to school. Among them, nearly
six lakh were physically or mentally challenged.
Professor Vinita Kaul, of the education department at Ambedkar
University, said teachers need special skills to deal with children
with special needs. The NCTE, she added, must make sure that all BEd
and MEd colleges engage at least one teacher with expertise on special
education so that teacher trainers get proper guidance in the subject.
The NCTE and the RCI have set up a committee under Professor N.K.
Jangira, of the National Council of Educational Research and Training
(NCERT), to draw up the two-year special education curricula. The
committee will also suggest the curriculum for the special education
papers in the general BEd and MEd streams.
Lawyer Ashok Agrawal - who had earlier filed a case against schools
for not implementing Right to Education rules that provide for
inclusive education to students across all categories - said the
situation was "changing gradually".
"Private schools in Delhi have engaged teachers trained in special
education," he said. "But the picture is grim in other states."
The other compulsory papers the NCTE has introduced are on yoga,
information and communications technology and gender studies.
