Coimbatore: The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), a statutory body under the Centre that recognises physical education programmes in higher education institutions, has withdrawn recognition to the Bharathiar University’s department of Physical Education for conducting Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.Ed) course from the next academic session.
The decision, NCTE said, was taken a meeting held from January 7 to 9 in New Delhi. The minutes of the meeting said the council had sent a show-cause notice in April last year and the final show-cause notice in October. “The institution did not submit its reply/representation in response to the final notice. Hence, NCTE decided to withdraw the recognition granted to Bharathiar University Department of Physical Education, for conducting B.P.Ed. course with effect from the next academic session.”
Sources pointed out to a NCTE communication in 2015 that said the department consented to come under NCTE’s new regulations and sought to intake 100 students in the programme. For this, it had sought the list of additional staff appointed and approved staff list. It had also directed the university to display all details of the department. Lapses in these could have led to the NCTE action.
