By which year is the minimum degree qualification for teaching going to be a 4-year integrated B.Ed degree, as per NEP 2020?

NEP 2020 sets 2030 as the year by which the minimum qualification for school teaching will be a four-year integrated Bachelor of Education degree.

The year 2025 is too early for this phased reform to take effect.

2026 likewise precedes the intended timeline.

2028 is also earlier than the target set in the policy.

The four-year integrated Bachelor of Education will combine subject knowledge with pedagogy in a single dual-major programme.

Teacher education is to move into multidisciplinary institutions, with standards framed through the National Professional Standards for Teachers.
