KOLKATA: The year-long wait of the would-be school teachers in the state finally ended on Tuesday with the School Service Commission declaring the results of the Teacher Eligibility Test written examination. A total 36,590 students qualified for the last round of personality test.

As many as 9,826 posts, mainly in science subjects, will remain vacant because there are not enough candidates who could qualify the second round of Teacher Eligibility Test (TET). SSC authorities will have to make a fresh advertisement for filling up the vacant posts in state-run schools. Those who could make it to the final round after a protracted legal battle will be called for the five-mark interview from August 20. Education minister Bratya Basu said that the government that


"We will be able to provide employment to more than a lakh candidates within the year combining the teaching and non-teaching posts. We expect to publish the results of primary TET examinations within a few months. It will create another 50,000 jobs in the state primary schools. All these, along with the recruitment in state universities, will exceed the one-lakh job mark that chief minister Mamata Banerjee had promised," the education minister said.

A little embarrassed with the poor performance in science subjects, the education minister blamed it on the Left Front government's faulty policy. "This is not unique. You will find many such candidates unable to qualify the TET in the preceding years. The Left Front's faulty education policy has weakened the scientific temper among students," Basu said.

Among the 9,826 posts which could not be filled, around 60% belongs to the SC/ST category. "The highest number of positions lying vacant is in mathematics in which around 2,000-2,500 posts could not be filled. The other subjects in which vacant posts remained are Economics, Bio-Sciences, Physics and Chemistry.

Majority of the candidates, who could not become eligible, are from the science stream," said chairman of the West Bengal School Service Commission Chittaranjan Mondal. The delay in publishing the result by a year was attributed to the pending court cases.

RIGHT TO EDUCATION ACT / RTE : शिक्षा का अधिकार कानून: अवधि पूरी, तैयारी अधूरी

RIGHT TO EDUCATION ACT / RTE : शिक्षा का अधिकार कानून: अवधि पूरी, तैयारी अधूरी

NEWS SABHAAR : JAGRAN (Updated on: Sat, 30 Mar 2013 09:38 PM (IST))

शिक्षा का अधिकार कानून: अवधि पूरी, तैयारी अधूरी

नई दिल्ली [राजकेश्वर सिंह]। शिक्षा का अधिकार कानून के अमल के लिए तय तीन साल की मियाद रविवार को पूरी हो जाएगी। फिर भी जमीन पर बहुत कुछ नहीं बदला। छह से 14 साल के बच्चों को पढ़ाने वाले लगभग 12 लाख स्कूली शिक्षकों की कमी है। योग्य और प्रशिक्षित शिक्षकों का होना तो और बड़ी बात है। अब भी पीने का पानी, शौचालय और खेल का मैदान सभी स्कूलों मे उपलब्ध नहीं है। स्कूली पढ़ाई के प्रावधानों के पूरा न होने पर सोमवार से कोई भी अभिभावक कानूनी तौर अदालत का दरवाजा खटखटा सकता है।

स्कूली पढ़ाई जैसे बुनियादी मसलों पर केंद्र और राज्य सरकारों की कुछ कर गुजरने की बार-बार की प्रतिबद्धता तीन साल बाद भी फिलहाल धरी की धरी रह गई। केंद्र अब राज्य सरकारों के साथ बैठकर शिक्षा का अधिकार कानून के अमल की समीक्षा करेगा। शिक्षा के नीतिगत मामलों की राष्ट्रीय स्तर की सबसे बड़ी बॉडी केंद्रीय शिक्षा सलाहकार बोर्ड [सीएबीई] की बैठक में आगामी दो अप्रैल को इस पर चर्चा होगी। सूत्रों के मुताबिक, सीएबीई की बैठक में शिक्षा के अधिकार [आरटीई] कानून के अमल की मियाद कुछ और बढ़ाने का भी रास्ता निकाला जा सकता है। क्योंकि, ऐसा न होने पर स्कूलों पर अनावश्यक रूप से मुकदमों की भरमार हो सकती है।

आरटीई कानून के तीन साल के सफर पर नजर डालें तो सिर्फ उसे अपने यहां लागू करने की अधिसूचना जारी करने के सिवा कोई भी राज्य ऐसा नहीं, जो सभी मापदंडों पर खरा उतरता हो। वैसे तो देश में लगभग 12 लाख स्कूली शिक्षकों की कमी है, लेकिन उसमें बड़े राज्यों में अकेले उत्तर प्रदेश में तीन लाख, बिहार में 2.60 लाख, पश्चिम बंगाल में एक लाख, झारखंड में 68 हजार, मध्य प्रदेश में 95 हजार शिक्षकों के पद खाली पड़े हैं।

इतना ही नहीं, जो स्कूली शिक्षक हैं, उनमें भी 8.6 लाख शिक्षक योग्य व प्रशिक्षित नहीं हैं। वे राष्ट्रीय अध्यापक शिक्षा परिषद [एनसीटीई] के मानकों के तहत शिक्षक होने की जरूरी अर्हता पूरी नहीं करते। इस मामले में 1.97 लाख अप्रशिक्षित शिक्षकों के साथ पश्चिम बंगाल सबसे ऊपर है। जबकि, बिहार में 1.86 लाख, उत्तर प्रदेश में 1.43 लाख और झारखंड में 77 हजार शिक्षक जरूरी योग्यता नहीं पूरी करते। इस बीच, एनसीटीई ने 13 राज्यों को दूरस्थ शिक्षक शिक्षा के जरिये उनके शिक्षकों को प्रशिक्षित करने की छूट दी है।

राज्यों में कानून की मानीटरिंग का जिम्मा बाल अधिकार संरक्षण आयोग या फिर उसके समकक्ष दूसरे निकायों पर है। फिर भी नौ केंद्र शासित राज्यों को मिलाकर अभी तक सिर्फ 26 राज्यों ने इसका प्रावधान किया है। इसके अलावा 41 प्रतिशत स्कूलों में छात्र-शिक्षक अनुपात मानक के लिहाज से नहीं है। तो पांच प्रतिशत स्कूलों में अब भी पीने के पानी की सुविधा नहीं है। 39 प्रतिशत स्कूलों में रैम्प नहीं है। 35 प्रतिशत स्कूलों में लड़के-लड़कियों के लिए अलग शौचालय की सुविधा नहीं है। दिल्ली, पश्चिम बंगाल और गोवा ऐसे राज्य हैं, जिन्होंने प्राइमरी के लिए अभी तक स्कूल प्रबंधन समितियों का गठन नहीं किया है

BREAKING NEWS TET : Most states to miss RTE deadline, but extension unlikely

BREAKING NEWS TET : Most states to miss RTE deadline, but extension unlikely

TEACHER ELIGIBILITY TEST / RTE NEWS -

New Delhi, Mar 22, 2013 (PTI):
Government today ruled out extending the deadline beyond March 31 for schools to meet RTE requirements even as it conceded that many states were lagging behind and said a committee is being set up to expedite the implementation process.

HRD Minister M M Pallam Raju was evasive when asked about the fate of the schools who fail to meet the Right to Education Act requirements like infrastructure after March 31, saying they would ensure the requirements are complied with in the "shortest possible time".

"The deadline is the objective. It is apparent that most states are going to miss it, but that does not mean we will leave the objective. We will constitute a committee to show seriousness of the implementation," he told reporters here.

Schools face the prospects of closing down under the Act if they are not RTE compliant after March 31. The government also faces the threat of being challenged in court by stakeholders in the event of non-compliance.

"As long as state govt shows it seriousness... if some parents want to be litigant, we cannot stop them. But as far as I can say, we all are serious," he said.

He said the Central Advisory Board of Education, in its meeting last November, had also unanimously resolved not to extend the deadline, arguing that any move in this regard would dilute the Act that seeks to provide free and compulsory education to students.

He said government will "push those" schools who are lagging behind even as Ministry officials maintained that there are some states who have attained over 90 per cent achievement in meeting the requirements.

The RTE Act had set two deadlines -- until March 31, 2013 for infrastructure and March 31, 2015 for teachers to attain minimum qualifications (pass Teachers’ Eligibility Test).

Asked about the proposed committee, the Minister said it will do a follow-up to ensure that the deadline for meeting teacher requirement under the Act by March 2015 is met.

Meanwhile, 13 states have asked the Ministry to relax the norms as far as minimum qualification goes to ensure speedy compliance with RTE norms. They are Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura, Bihar, Chattishgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal

WBTET : HC stays selection of teachers

WBTET : HC stays selection of teachers

SSC Petition alleges TET answers evaluated wrongly

The Calcutta High Court on Wednesday stayed the selection process to recruit teachers in the secondary and higher secondary schools by the School Service Commission (SSC) till March 21. The examination was held on July 29 last year to recruit teachers in secondary and higher secondary schools for filling up around 55,000 posts.

M D Kamruzzaman and 40 other candidates, who appeared in the SSC examination, filed a writ petition challenging the examination process. They alleged in the petition that the answer script of the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) had been evaluated according to the wrong answers. The candidates who wrote the right answers on the basis of text books did not secure any marks. So the selection process should be stopped.

Hearing the allegation, Justice Debasish Kargupta referred the dispute to the principal of David Hare BEd College to look into the matter. The principal will verify the claim made by the candidates and file a report within three weeks.

The petition explained that the candidates had appeared for two written tests — one TET and another test on main subjects. On securing 60 per cent marks in the TET, their answer scripts of main subjects would be examined by the SSC. But the two written tests were taken on the same day. After publication of TET result, answer script of main subjects would be evaluated.

On December 1 last, the SSC published the result of TET and also disclosed the model answers of the questions of the TET on its website. The petitioners noticed that some answers in the model answers were different according to popular text books and the answer scripts were evaluated on the basis of the these model answers.


Advocate Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharjee, counsel of the petitioner argued that the candidates who wrote the right answers according to the text book, got zero and the candidates who wrote the wrong answers on the basis of the model answers secured got marks. As a result, he petitioner did not secure the requisite 60 per cent to qualify the TET, the petition alleged.

Though the results of the TET were published, the results of the main subjects are yet to some out. Justice Kargupta said that the result of the main subjects can not be published now for the stay order. The case will come up for hearing on March 21.

WBTET : HC prod on right to education act

WBTET : HC prod on right to education act

KOLKATA: The Calcutta high court on Monday directed the state government to enforce guidelines under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RCFCE) Act, 2009 in all schools except minority-run ones with immediate effect.

The division bench of Chief Justice Arun Mishra and Justice Joymalya Bagchi also directed that the registrations of schools that refuse to abide by the guidelines should be immediately scrapped.




The court was hearing a petition filed by Jatiyatabadi Paribartankami Shikshamonoshko Abhibhabak Mancha - an organization of parents from Jalpaiguri in North Bengal. The petitioners had claimed that several schools in Jalpaiguri do not abide by the guidelines though the RCFCE Rules, 2012, has already come into effect in the state.

They alleged that the schools in question continue to charge capitation fees or donations and not admit students from the economically weaker sections of society.

After hearing the petition on Friday, the court directed the state government to file an affidavit on what steps it has taken to enforce the act. This report was submitted on Monday. After going through the affidavit, the court noted that steps need to be taken so that schools in the state - not only in Jalpaiguri - but also in other parts of the state abide by the provisions under the act.

The act states that all children between the age of 6 and 14 have the right to free and compulsory education in a neighbourhood school. In order to abide by this, schools can't bar a student from being promoted till Class VIII.

Private schools (except minority-run ones) will also have to reserve 25% of the class strength for students from economically weaker sections and disadvantaged groups through a random selection process. The government is to remunerate the school for the education of such children.

No seats in this quota can be left vacant, the Act stipulates and those admitted through this process have to be treated at par with other students. The Act also states that no donation or capitation fee can be charged and no admission test or interview for children or parents can be held. Schools have to maintain a fixed student to teacher ratio. Local bodies like Panchayats and municipalities are to keep tabs on the numbers of children actually receiving primary education under the Act. State governments have also been directed to set up Commissions for Protection of Child Rights by the Act which also stipulates that all schools (except private unaided ones) have to set up management committees with 75% of parents and guardians being members.

WBTET : शिक्षक नियुक्ति परीक्षा पर रोक

WBTET : शिक्षक नियुक्ति परीक्षा पर रोक

कोलकाता। पश्चिम बंगाल के प्राथमिक विद्यालयों में शिक्षकों की नियुक्ति प्रक्रिया पर कानूनी ग्रहण लग गया है। गुरूवार को कलकत्ता हाईकोर्ट ने प्राथमिक शिक्षकों की नियुक्ति के लिए 23 दिसम्बर को होने वाली परीक्षा पर अंतरिम स्थगनादेश जारी कर दिया। कोर्ट के इस फैसले के बाद प्राथमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड फिलहाल शिक्षकों की नियुक्ति के लिए परीक्षा आयोजित नहीं कर पाएगा। 

प्राथमिक विद्यालयों में 54 हजार शिक्षकों को नियुक्त करने का मामला खटाई में पड़ गया है। 19 अक्टूबर को राज्य सरकार ने प्राथमिक विद्यालयों में शिक्षकों की नियुक्ति के लिए विज्ञापन प्रकाशित किया था। प्रशिक्षित तथा गैर प्रशिक्षित दोनों प्रकार के उम्मीदवारों से आवेदन मांगे गए थे। तकरीबन 55 लाख उम्मीदवारों ने आवेदन भेजे हैं। दोनों ही प्रकार के उम्मीदवारों की परीक्षा एक साथ लेने की बात कही गई थी। सरकार के इस फैसले को हावड़ा तथा पश्चिम मिदनापुर के दो लोगों ने हाईकोर्ट में चुनौती दी थी। उनका कहना था कि प्राथमिक शिक्षक बनने के लिए जिन्होंने प्रशिक्षण लिया है और जिन्होंने बिल्कुल प्रशिक्षण नहीं लिया है, उनकी परीक्षा एक साथ नहीं ली जा सकती। याचिकाकर्ताओं का कहना था कि आरटीआई और एनसीटीई एक्ट के अनुसार पहले प्रशिक्षित उम्मीदवारों को नौकरी देनी होगी। उन्हें अतिरिक्त अंकों की विशेष सुविधा मिलनी चाहिए, परंतु सरकार प्रशिक्षित और गैर प्रशिक्षित दोनों को एक समान उम्मीदवार मान रही है। 

2009 में सरकार ने केन्द्र सरकार से कहा था कि चूंकि राज्य में पीटीटीआई उम्मीदवारों की संख्या कम हैं और प्राथमिक विद्यालयों में ढेरों पद रिक्त हैं, इसलिए गैर प्रशिक्षित उम्मीदवारों को भी शिक्षक के पद पर नियुक्त करने की अनुमति दी जाए। केन्द्र ने राज्य सरकार को यह सुविधा मार्च, 2014 तक दी थी। परंतु यह शर्त रखी गई थी कि पहले प्रशिक्षित उम्मीदवारों से रिक्त पद भरना होगा। इसके बाद यदि पद खाली रहते हैं तो गैर प्रशिक्षित उम्मीदवारों को स्थान दिया जा सकता है। 

यहां यह भी शर्त रखी गई थी कि जो गैर प्रशिक्षित उम्मीदवार शिक्षक बनेंगे उन्हें दो वर्ष के भीतर प्रशिक्षण ले लेना होगा। 

न्यायाधीश देवाशीष करगुप्ता ने दो याचिकाताओं की अर्जी के अनुसार प्राथमिक शिक्षक नियुक्ति परीक्षा पर अंतरिम स्थगनादेश जारी कर दिया। उन्होंने कहा है कि प्रशिक्षित तथा गैर प्रशिक्षित दोनों प्रकार के उम्मीदवारों की एक साथ परीक्षा नहीं ली जा सकती। अदालत ने इस सम्बन्ध में प्राथमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड से दो सप्ताह के भीतर हलफनामा मांगा है। उसके बाद याचिकाकर्ता के अधिवक्ता एक सप्ताह के भीतर उस हलफनामे का जवाब देंगे। इस पर जनवरी में फिर सुनवाई शुरू होगी।

WBTET : Govt moves HC against stay on teacher test

WBTET : Govt moves HC against stay on teacher test

WBTET / टीईटी / TET - Teacher Eligibility Test Updates / Teacher Recruitment News

KOLKATA: Four days after the Calcutta high court ordered an interim stay on the recruitment process for 44,000 primary teachers initiated by the state government in October this year, the West Bengal Primary Education Board on Monday moved a division bench of the high court against it. The hearing is likely to be held on Wednesday.

To avoid jeopardizing the careers of 5,450,000 aspirants who are gearing to appear in the primary teachers' recruitment test, the state government has said that it will accept any directive from the high court.

"We have already mentioned that 20 additional marks will be awarded to the trained candidates who will qualify in the Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET) and are eligible to appear for interview. This will give them an edge over the untrained candidates However, if the court so desires, we will submit an affidavit and mention the same as we have specified in the rules already," said education minister Bratya Basu.

President of West Bengal Primary Education Board, Manik Bhattacharyya, said, "If the court gives an order to make other provisions for the trained candidates in addition to the existing 20 marks bonus, we shall also accept the verdict."

The education minister mentioned in no uncertain terms that the primary objective of the government is to hold the primary teachers' recruitment examination. "We need teachers and thus we are hopeful to hold the test for recruitment," Basu said. However, TET will be compulsory for both trained and untrained candidates.

"We have to obey the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) guidelines as well as the central government's order which clearly states that both trained and untrained teachers will have to appear in TET. Giving additional privilege to the trained teachers is then the discretion of the state government," Bhattacharyya said.

He added, "Before distributing the forms, we clearly sought opinion on our website after we decided to make TET compulsory. But no one raised any objection. However, a few trained candidates made applications to get an exemption from TET altogether which is impossible since NCTE has made it compulsory for the aspiring teachers."

Basu pointed out that in 2009 when the primary teachers' recruitment test was held by the earlier government no additional marks were awarded. Basu and Bhattacharyya, however, reiterated that only one TET will be held for both trained and untrained students according to NCTE rules.

On Monday, the education minister also alleged that a few schools were organizing admission tests, going against the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (2009). "Some are also forcing parents to buy books from the old syllabus instead of handing them new books. REPA will be operational from January. If any complaint is lodged, we shall immediately take action against the school authorities responsible. In extreme cases, we may consider to derecognize the school or inflict penal measures, including imposition of monetary fines," Basu added.

WBTET : 160 graduates fight for every teacher post in Bengal

WBTET : 160 graduates fight for every teacher post in Bengal

Dec 6, 2012


West Bengal Primary Education Board|West Bengal 

KOLKATA: As many as 54.5 lakh people - more than the population of Singapore - have applied for primary teacher posts in Bengal, exposing the desperation of the educated in a job-starved state.

This sea of applicants is vying for 35,000 vacancies in state-aided primary schools, which means 160 people are fighting for every post, a grim pointer to where the state is headed to. The mind boggling number has made experts in the Indian Statistical Institute sit up in alarm. "It clearly indicates that there is a serious scarcity of jobs in Bengal," said ISI teacher and economist Avirup Sarkar.

He also sees a rising insecurity among employees in the service sector, not to speak of industry. "This indicates that even the existing jobs are not very secure and hence people are looking for government jobs. Such is the situation that they are lured by the job of a primary teacher. It also implies that people in Bengal do not want to take any risk of doing an independent business or venturing out and also that they do not have much option outside the state," Sarkar said.

However, Calcutta University vice-chancellor Suranjan Das sees nothing extraordinary in the huge number of applicants. "School-level employment is a major catchment area for graduates seeking employment. A common trend in Bengal is to look for a government job instead of a lucrative job in the private sector," Das said.

As is the trend in Bengal, even this has triggered a political blame game. The current education functionaries of the state claim the damage was done by the Left Front regime. "In 2010, 62 lakh people had applied for the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), but the figure didn't show up because the CPM-led government didn't allow all the applicants. The previous board screened applications and allowed only one in 15 candidates to take the test. Going by that principle, there would have been only 4 lakh candidates this time but we did not take that route," said West Bengal Primary Education Board chairperson Manik Bhattacharya.

In fact, he touted it as a "big achievement of the Mamata Banerjee government". "We distributed 54,50,000 forms for the Primary Teachers Recruitment Examination. All applicants have already got their admit cards although the last date for submission of forms was November 30. This is unprecedented. We have been able to solve the anxiety of the long wait for admit cards," Bhattacharya said.

He also said that while the CPM-led government had charged Rs 150 for each form, the Mamata administration asked for Rs 100. "SC and ST candidates had to pay only Rs 25 although the rules allow us to charge Rs 50," Bhattacharyya said, adding that everyone who scores a minimum of 60% in the December 23 test will be called for interview. In the Left regime, one in every two persons who qualified got the interview call-up, he said.
