teachers in the world over. Bearing the same motto in mind, the study,
here aimed to and was conducted to review the curricula of B.Ed
taught in the sampled areas and fill the missing gaps with all those
related topics, elements, trends and dimensions of global education

teacher education colleges and 02 IER / departments of the sampled
university. The study made valuable recommendations that included the
development of a strategy that could suggest approaches, trends and
issues to update the teachers about global happenings. The strategy

to ensure their involvement in monitory aspects, democratic processes,
population and its dynamics, technological and environmental
development that lacked in teacher community
