PANJIM: For the very first time, the State government is offering a B Ed in Special Education Programme for which until now the students from Goa had to go outside the State as it is available with few universities in the country.

The programme, affiliated to the Goa University and recognised by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), is being offered with 20 seats to begin with and is being supported by the State government, allowing students to pursue it at subsidised fees.
The government has discontinued the D Ed programme at Sanjay School and has offered the more advanced B Ed programme in special education. The B Ed programme trains teachers to teach both regular and special children.
The two-year B Ed in special education course is being offered at the Dnyanvardhini Divyang Training College, Vasco and the establishment of a research centre is also in the offing to promote further studies in this area.
