Relief for students of Satyawati BEd course

Students pursuing BEd course in Satyawati College, Delhi University, can rest at ease as the Delhi high court has refused to allow derecognition of the course by the National Council For Teacher Education (NCTE). Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw set aside the NCTE’s decision and noted that it ‘‘can’t play with institutions and trivialize the sanctity of the elaborate procedure laid down for grant of recognition.’’
The HC reminded the council that ‘‘considerable effort and expense is entailed in setting up an institution and all of which gets wasted if recognition is refused or withdrawn in such frivolous manner. An institution like wine, matures with years, and if derecognized frequently would never mature.’’
Satyawati College had informed HC that its de-recognition came after DU had listed it as one of the few colleges where BEd courses are available. NCTE had moved to withdraw recognition on the basis of a complaint it received from a lecturer of the college’s history department who claimed that the institution had no infrastructure. TNN
