Introduction

As the house of 56th Faculty Board suggested, general education courses are aligned with the existing B.Ed (1.5 years) offered from the Faculty of Education. Alignment of 8613 is not admissible due to the fact that separate grouping of students of B.Ed 1.5 Special Education is not possible (confirmed by respective Course Coordinator) therefore research Project of Special Education (8452) is retained in the scheme of studies. 

Rationale
