Delhi government has decided to double the seats in B.Ed programme conducted by the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) from existing 70 to 150.
The announcement was made today by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia while addressing a new batch of students at the institute.
Sisodia, who is also the Education minister, said the students of the course will soon get the gift of a separate institute and asked for their suggestions regarding its name.
"The future of 26 lakh students of Delhi is in hands of the budding teachers and you should become partners of the government in ensuring quality education to every child of whether rich or poor," he said.
