17. In Haq's case, the Division Bench, after noting the curriculum and other aspects, said that:
"It will thus be seen that whereas the ETE/JBT curriculam is framed in such a way that one single teacher is able to teach all the subjects to a particular class of students, in B.Ed. curriculam the emphasis is on the specialisation in two subjects. The ETE/JBT courses are designed specially keeping the children of class I to V in mind which is not the case with B.Ed.. curriculum. A primary teacher has to undergo teacher training in primary classes that is class I to V whereas a B.Ed. degree holder is required to have teaching experience of secondary classes i.e. from VI to X. In the curriculum frame work for quality teacher education framed by National Counsel for Teachers Education, an autonomous body, it has been clearly mentioned in clause 2.7 that the curriculum for primary teacher has been formulated specially to enable the teachers to teach primary classes i.e. from I to V whereas in clause 2.9 which deals with teachers education for secondary stage it has been observed that for teaching at the secondary level educational qualification which is most sought after is B.Ed. which in fact is meant for this stage alone. The subject-content as well as teaching methodology is different for ETE diploma holder and B.Ed. degree holder. The teaching practice for primary teachers and secondary teachers is also of different duration and different levels. The two qualifications operate in different fields and at different levels. It will therefore be wrong to say that B.Ed. is a higher qualification then ETE/JBT in the same sense as B.A. is higher than intermediate. B.A. degree is considered to be higher than intermediate because for passing B.A. one has necessarily to pass intermediate but in order to obtain B.Ed. it is not necessary to pass ETE/JBT first. These two qualifications are specifically meant for different levels of students and there is no question of one being higher than the other".
