Right To Education (Act) - Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)


Guidelines for conducting Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)
Background and Rationale
The implementation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education
(RTE) Act, 2009 requires the recruitment of a large number of teachers across the country
in a time bound manner. Inspite of the enormity of the task, it is desirable to ensure that
quality requirement for recruitment of teachers are not diluted at any cost. It is therefore
necessary to ensure that persons recruited as teachers possess the essential aptitude
and ability to meet the challenges of teaching at the primary and upper primary level.
2 In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 23 of the Right of
Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, the National Council for
Teacher Education (NCTE) has laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be
eligible for appointment as a teacher in class I to VIII, vide its Notification dated August 23,
2010. A copy of the Notification is attached at Annexure 1. One of the essential
qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools
referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is that he/she should pass the Teacher
Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the appropriate Government.
3 The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be
eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under:
i. It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the
recruitment process;
ii. It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these
institutions to further improve their performance standards;
iii. It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays
special emphasis on teacher quality

designated by the appropriate Government for the purpose. It will be conducted in

SC seeks response of Centre, states on violation of Right to Education Act



RIGHT TO EDUCATION ACT / TEACHER ELIGIBILITY TEST INDIA / NCTE GUIDELINES


Petition asked the states and the UTs to recruit and train one lakh additional professionally trained teachers every month.
   

The PIL, filed by the National Coalition for Education — a network of organisations fighting for the RTE — said at least 1.5 lakh schools and 12 lakh trained teachers were required to fulfill the goals envisaged under the RTE.

 It sought a direction that "the states and UTs upgrade all deficient schools with appropriate physical infrastructure so as to be in compliance with the RTE Act within six months.

"The states and UTs regularise and make permanent all contract and para-teachers in the country," it said. The petition also said the states and UTs should disclose the number of students admitted under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota in the state in accordance with the provisions of the Act. 






 
A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam issued notice and sought their response after summer vacation on a plea filed by an organisation, National Coalition for Education.
  
The plea said lack of resources and failure to implement provisions of the RTE Act has resulted in a significant decline in education performance.
  
Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves sought a direction to all the states to complete the required neighbourhood mapping within six months and new schools be constructed six months after completion of the process.
  
The petition asked the states and UTs to recruit and train one lakh additional professionally trained teachers to end the shortage of educators within a year.
  
It sought a direction that "the states and UTs upgrade all deficient schools with appropriate physical infrastructure so as to be in compliance with the RTE Act within six months.
  
"The states and UTs regularise and make permanent all contract and para-teachers in the country," it said.
  
The petition also said the states and UTs should disclose the number of students admitted under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota in the state in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
  
"Based on the aforementioned facts, it is clear that the Right to Education is being violated across the country. These violations have persisted for years and remain today in face of the RTE Act's requirement that they be remedied within three years of it coming into force.
  
"And more troubling, they persist despite widespread awareness of their existence by various responsible governments and authorities and in the face of previous orders from this court on October 3, 2012 to remedy them," it said

नई दिल्ली (ब्यूरो)। देशभर के स्कूलों में शिक्षकों और संसाधनों की कमी के चलते शिक्षा के अधिकार कानून (आरटीई) के उल्लंघन के आरोप पर सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने शुक्रवार को केंद्र व सभी राज्य सरकारों से जवाब तलब किया। सर्वोच्च अदालत में दायर याचिका में इस कानून पर सही तरीके से अमल कराने के लिए सरकारों को निर्देश जारी करने की मांग की गई है।
