A BA/B.Sc./B.Ed. is an undergraduate integrated course that combines a bachelor's degree in arts or science with a bachelor of education. The program is usually 3 years long and prepares students to become teachers in elementary and secondary schools:
A Bachelor of Arts (BA) is an undergraduate (UG) degree program that provides a broad foundation in the humanities, social sciences, and other liberal arts. It's typically completed in 3 years.
A Bachelor of Science (BSc) is an undergraduate degree program that usually takes 3 years to complete. Some colleges offer four-year BSc programs that include a year for an internship or placement.
B.Ed. is perceived as essentially the first formal preparation for educators, although its primary focus is on secondary school teaching. It is also seen as an initial professional degree for those who may wish to pursue further studies and professional specializations in management institutions and systems, policy making and planning, curriculum development, managing examinations, developing textbooks, guidance and counseling, working in alternative school systems, teacher education and educational research.
The B.Ed. programme in CIE at present is characterised by a rich School Experience Programme, an EPC Programme for students and many Co-Curricular Activities including Sports which contribute towards more holistic teacher preparation.
