In the purview of regular way of functioning, SoE keeps trend of intensive Personal Contact Programmes (PCPs) that is distinctive of NSOU. The School fervently awaits for the resuming of Ph.D programmes (Regular Mode) in conformity with revised UGC rules.
The curriculums of all the programmes have been framed to keep abreast with the changing nature of structure of knowledge in Education and Special Education. SLMs are also upgraded periodically to instil new ideas and innovations. The School is trying to reach its learners through ICT support to rejuvenate the academic mission of "Reaching the unreached". ICT support encompasses digitised SLMs, A/V lectures, Tutorial A-V Lectures and all type of academic and administrative support through the support service cell.
