Abstract

Bachelor in Education 4 years has been launched in the universities of Pakistan for the pre-service teacher training across Pakistan. This study was conducted to have the perception of students about the newly launched B.Ed 4 years program with the collaboration of the Teacher Education Project by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The enrolled students (n-40) of the B.Ed 4 year program were a sample of the study. An interview protocol was administered to have an insight into IUB students. Students' perception was taken in the form of their viewpoints right from the beginning like a reason for taking admission in this program, perception prevailing in their surrounding community about this newly launched degree and the university's role assessment in coming up to their expectations. NVIVO-11 was used for data analysis. It can be concluded that there are no doubts about the viability and marketability of the program in future.
