Questions
Which syllabus does this course follow?
It follows the NCTE 2014 based two-year B.Ed scheme followed by UP state universities (CCSU, MJPRU, CSJMU, Lucknow University and others). Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre teaches your university's units and papers.
Is there a practical component?
Many universities ask for a textbook gender audit or a small survey; the centre guides you through it.
Is this paper only about girls?
No. It is about all genders, including boys, masculinities and transgender persons, and how school can be fair to all.
