For those wanting to teach in primary and secondary schools, the Bachelor of Education (BEd) is a foundational and widely recognised degree in India.

These programs provide foundational knowledge and practical training in teaching methodologies, classroom management, and curriculum development, preparing individuals for various teaching roles.
