and in this way good hope on their future. And maximum teacher trainees said that we get good
private or government jobs. This was the good thing in the quality and development in education

the B.Ed colleges is to remove this stage fear from the teacher trainees. Suggestions:Is good
NCTE has to reduce the duration of B.Ed programme.
After one year B.Ed programme providing 2-4 months internship, then giving the degree
is enough.
More than the half of teacher trainees having the stage fear. So to remove this teacher
education institutions and teacher educators have to give more concentration on this.
Some of the teacher trainees has to joined the B.Ed programme without interest, for them
also the teacher educator should develop the holy opinion and interest on the profession.
