The Postgraduate Diploma in Pre & Primary Teacher Training (PPTT) is the most suitable and comprehensive course open to students today if you are considering a career as a teacher in the pre- and primary parts of high schools. The course, which addresses key developmental concepts defined in its National Curriculum Framework guidance by the Ministry of Women & Children, Government of India, best equips participants in the course to become flexible practitioners in schools and pre-schools of their choosing.
The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) redefines early childhood in its position paper on Pre- and Primary Education as the period from conception to age 8, a period that poses a continuum of development according to the theoretical framework of developmental psychology and theories of learning. The reason for expanding the span of early childhood from 6 to 8 years is to ensure a smooth and incremental transition from pre-primary to primary education, a standardized and organized learning program that requires an efficient interface.In this context, a postgraduate diploma in pre- and primary teacher training is important because it uses and builds on the institutional structure developed for early years to broaden the quality of teacher education in the post-formational early childhood period.
The course is ideal for those students who want a future in the teaching profession while not sacrificing on a current career or life choices requiring them to obtain a global postgraduate diploma in a field of their choosing.

Our internationally benchmarked teacher education curriculum is the very best in terms of range and depth of our courses. For our Post Graduate Diploma in Pre and Primary Teacher Training, we offer an in-depth curriculum that is strongly linked to the National ECCE Curriculum Framework set by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in conjuction with the HRD Ministry.
The purpose of this framework is to promote quality and excellence in early childhood education by providing guidelines for practices that would promote optimum learning and development of all young children and set out the broad arrangement of approaches and experiences rather than detailed defining of the content. A cautious approach is being adopted to not provide a detailed curriculum/syllabus which would be prescriptive and ‘delivered’ to the young children in a ‘straight jacketed manner’. The National Curriculum Framework calls attention to the common principles and developmental tasks, at the same time, respecting the diversity in the child rearing practices and contextual pre and primary educational needs.
Keeping these guidelines in mind, the post graduate course covers the following topics in depth in a course than spans 15 months.
