B. Three-Years B.A. / B. Sc., B. Ed. Programme(12+3 Model):
Rationale:
The three-year integrated model has been recommended because of a long felt need of integrating the teaching of content and methodology under the umbrella of the same institution. It is believed that through this model the student will be in a better position to comprehend the scope of the subject matter in relation to the principles of teaching and learning. The introduction of semester and internal evaluation system will further enrich the curriculum efforts and add meaning and value to the classroom activities. Any student who has studied through this model will receive a composite. B.A., B. Ed. or B. Sc., B. Ed. degree which will enable him to study further at M.A. / M. Sc and M. Ed. levels or to join teaching profession as a secondary school teacher.The three-year programme (12+3 Model) of teacher training was initially introduced at the institute of Education and Research, Gomal, University, Dera Ismail Khan. But due to unknown reasons it was discontinued after completing the training of two batches. Presently it is going on in College of Education Islamabad, and Government College of Education, Afzalpur (AJK).
