Calicut University Vice Chancellor M.K. Jayaraj is expected to visit New Delhi soon to hold talks with the Chairperson, National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), in a bid to restore the recognition of 11 of its teacher education centres that offer B.Ed courses in the self-financing mode.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the Syndicate held on Wednesday.
The centres which lost recognition are at Chakkittapara, Kallayi, and Vadakara in Kozhikode, Manjeri and Malappuram in Malappuram, Valappad, Aranattukara, and Chalakudy in Thrissur, Sulthan Bathery and Kaniyambetta in Wayanad, and Koduvayoor in Palakkad. Fifty students each are being admitted to these centres every year. The academic prospects of 550 students will be in peril if the recognition is not restored.
