The TTA is part of the TISB and NPS Group of Institutions.
The PGCEi launched by the UoN at their campus is a global platform to compare teaching approaches across different countries and help teachers in developing a global approach to education.
"The course aims to promote in-depth understanding of teaching strategies, develop expertise in practitioner research and make appropriate use of professional and research literature," said Anne Emerson, Associate Professor, UoN, and PGCEi Coordinator (Asia) in a statement.
Earlier in March, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed between the two institutions to introduce the PGCEi in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
The programme consists of four 15 credit modules and is blended learning, which is a flexible amalgamation of online distance learning as well as face-to-face sessions.
"The content and design of the PGCEi will benefit teachers irrespective of the curriculum or grade they teach. Improved teacher skill and pedagogical knowledge will directly impact student outcomes and performance," added Bindu Hari, Director, TISB, NAFL and NPS Group of Schools.
The web-based virtual learning environment (VLE) enables teachers from tier-2 and 3 cities to access high quality teaching qualification.
"It was my dream to offer teachers more opportunities to learn from the best practices from all over the world," said K.P. Gopalkrishna, Chairman, TISB, NAFL and NPS Group of Schools.
The course will start in December 2017 and take eight months to a year to complete. The 60 credits earned from the PGCEi can be carried forward into a MA in Education in preparation for Ph.D study.
