New National University of Education to produce teachers
View(s):A concept Cabinet paper will be submitted shortly to establish a National University of Education which will offer degree programmes for teachers.
Nineteen Education Colleges will be combined to form the new National University of Education.
The degree programmes will have three-year academic work and one-year practical training.
The first batch of students is expected to be enrolled by next year. Enrolment will take place based on Z-score marks received at the 2022 GCE (A/L) examination held earlier this year.
University Grants Commission approval will be received.
The first batch of graduates is expected to be out by 2028 and will be directly recruited as teachers.
Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said that after the programme is implemented only graduate teachers will be recruited.
He said they expected to enrol 4,000 students in a batch, initially. “We will be able to recruit teachers for A/L classes directly after this programme is implemented; they could also be utilised in other classes depending on the requirement,” he said.
The University is expected to be established in Maharagama.
