COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATON (CTE) : INTRODUCTION Colleges of Teacher Education (CTEs) Institutions have been established for preparation and professional development of secondary school teachers in the State as a result of centrally sponsored programme for restructuring and reorganization of Teacher Education Institution as envisaged in National Policy on Education-1986 and PoA 1992 of Govt. of India. There are Six CTEs presently running in the state in Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Gaya, Chhapra, Saharsha and Samastipur Districts. As per guidelines of Govt. of India, there will be one CTE for every 3 districts in every state and so Eight New CTEs in Araria, Aurangabad, Patna, Purnea, Buxar, East Champaran, Munger and Siwan districts have been sanctioned by the State. Very soon all these new CTEs will become functional and will help fulfill the requirements of Secondary School Teachers as per the norms of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Right to Education (RTE).
