The meeting started with a silent prayer initiated by the Chairman Dr M S Geetha, followed by the welcome speech by the Gen. Secretary (GS) Dr Pramod Dinakar. The Chairman initiated the discussion wherein the GS read out the decisions taken during the last ECM. 

The Chairman emphasized the need for the quorum in an ECM as it is extremely necessary for  the proceedings to be valid. 

Agendum I: CTEF Annual Convention 2023-’24 - Planning 

Peet Memorial Training College (PMTC) has been nominated as the venue for the annual convention 2023-24 and without any further delay, the preparations need to be done.

Dr Mariamma Mathew, Principal, PMTC, presented the themes which have to be finalized. The two major themes suggested were:

  1. Humanistic Values and Digital _____

  2. Quality Enhancement through Innovative Teaching-Learning Strategies for the 21st Century

Dr V. Reghu suggested the need to put the spotlight on NEP 2020 and its implementation and if required, resource persons can even be invited from outside Kerala. He also suggested that the issues raised by ITEP and the future of colleges are also of vital importance and need to be emphasized.

Dr Musthafa, outlined the importance and relevance of including the outcome-based approach as one of the themes along with the problems in evaluation while teaching tech-savvy/digitally well-versed students.

Dr Asha JV wanted to accentuate the role of NEP in quality enhancement in the second theme. She also seconded Dr Musthafa’s suggestions.

Dr Madhubala suggested including language-related themes as well.

Dr Anees Muhammed opined that the second theme can accommodate the aforementioned suggestions and hence the second theme can be accepted. Furthermore, he suggested having a session on the core theme.


Dr. V. Reghu strongly objected to the idea of having the '21st Century' in the theme, asserting that predicting the advancements and changes the future holds is inherently uncertain. He again underscored the inclusion of NEP 2020 in the theme as nothing has been implemented to date, once implemented, how it will unfold, etc. and suggested having ‘emerging trends…’ or a theme in line with it. 


Dr Nimmi Oommen informed that ‘emerging trends…’ has been a recurrently used theme in conferences and seminars lately and it will fail to captivate the necessary attention here.


The themes can be decided upon later in another meeting of the programme committee (involving Dr Rajeswari K., Dr V. Reghu, Dr. Malini P.M., etc.).


The dates of the Annual Convention will be January 18-20, 2023.


It will be held in blended mode with the first day completely online and the second and the third day offline with online paper presentation sessions in the evenings as well so as to ensure maximum participation.

The meeting started with a silent prayer initiated by the Chairman Dr M S Geetha, followed  by the welcome speech by the Gen. Secretary (GS) Dr Pramod Dinakar. The Chairman  initiated the discussion wherein the GS read out the decisions taken during the last ECM. 

The Chairman emphasized the need for the quorum in an ECM as it is extremely necessary for  the proceedings to be valid. 

Agendum I: CTEF Annual Convention 2023-’24 - Planning 

Four Colleges, viz., (i)St. Joseph’s Training College for Women (SJTCW), Ernakulam; (ii)Peet  Memorial Training College (PMTC), Mavelikkara, (iii)St. Thomas Training College (STTC),  Mukkolakkal; (iv)SN Gurukripa Training College (SNGTTC), Pothencode had shown interest  in conducting the CTEF Annual Convention 2023-24 in January-February 2024. 

As STTC and SJTCW had previously hosted CTEF programmes at their premises, preference  was given to PMTC and SNGTC and from that, PMTC was nominated to be the next host of  the CTEF Annual Convention 2023-24 provided they have no inconvenience. PMTC was  nominated as it is around the central part of the State, and no programmes were ever organized  in the Alleppey district. The Chair conveyed our gratitude to the rest of the three colleges for  offering their willingness to hold the same. 

Agendum II: Review of Online Talk Series organised by Peet Memorial Training College,  in collaboration with CTEF and DIET Alappuzha 

Though there is a good number of faculty members participating in the programme, the  students’ participation is very low. More participation from the members of CTEF was  requested. More participation from the DIETs can be sought and Dr Bindu KJ was entrusted to  do that work The Chairman again requested the executive members to ensure their  participation in the talk. 

Agendum III: Status of Website 

As Dr Sajan was not present in the meeting, the agendum is proposed to be discussed in the  next ECM. 


Agendum IV: Planning and Organisation of other Events 

(i) CTEF can collaborate and organize research methodology classes in colleges for 5-7 days  which is a need of the hour. Dr Malini , Dr Maya and Dr Rajeswari were entrusted to discuss  the matter deeply and inform decisions to the executive committee. 

(ii) An International Conference (in blended mode) with MG University on Teacher  Development and Capacity Building under NEP 2020 is yet another suggestion from Prof. Dr  Asha JV from SPS Kottayam and she has requested CTEF to be the co-host of the same. It is  proposed to be held in November-December 2023 which is an ideal time for international conferences and Dr Asha opined that Keynote Speakers can be availed from the RP pool of  CTEF. If there is an international guest, the keynote address can be held online as well. Dr  Asha has informed us that UGC is funding the conference and that minimum stationery can be provided by the Dept. Though there will be a registration fee, CTEF may have to bear/share the cost of the honorariums, if necessary, for the resource persons from the Registration fee.  Reputed teacher educators (from CTEF inside and outside)who are ready to volunteer can also be approached for the same. Dr VM Sasikumar, the Patron, CTEF South zone can also be approached for getting the International Resource persons in this context. 

Agendum V: Other items discussed with the permission of the Chair 

a. Charity 

Prof. Jacob Mathew proposed to have a Charity Wing for CTEF to raise funds for the CTEF  members when in dire medical need. It shall only be for the CTEF members (relatives not included).

Daniel and the ex officio members (Charman, Gen Secretary, Treasurer). 

b. ITEP 

Dr Anila Chacko enquired about the measures taken by CTEF to check the feasibility/ existence of self-financing colleges once ITEP is introduced to which the Chair confirmed that a different meeting would be held in this regard. 

c. CTEF Annual Awards 

A discussion was held on the awards instituted by CTEF that are to be distributed at the Annual  Conference every year. The following members were selected for the committee in addition to the Ex Officio members (Charman, Gen Secretary, Treasurer).
