Students enrolling in teacher training colleges across the state will face an increased fee burden, as reported by dishadaily.com. Officials from the Higher Education Department have issued official orders to increase the fees for convener quota seats in Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) and B.Ed Special Education courses.
Compared to the fees in effect during the last academic year, there has been an increase of 17.5 percent this time, according to dishadaily.com. This decision will significantly impact students aspiring to pursue teacher training.
Under these new revisions, the fee for candidates admitted under the convener quota for the regular B.Ed course has been set at Rs. 10,500. This represents a notable increase from previous fees.
Similarly, the convener quota fee for the B.Ed Special Education course, which trains teachers for children with special needs, has also been increased. Students opting for this specialized course will also be subject to higher fees.
This fee hike will directly affect students in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana who wish to pursue teacher training. It places an additional financial strain on them, potentially impacting their access to higher education and their career aspirations in the teaching profession.
