Supreme Court Upholds NCTE Mandate for Annual Performance Reports from Teacher Institutes
The Supreme Court upheld a 2019 National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) notice mandating Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) to submit annual Performance Appraisal Reports. The court set aside a Delhi High Court order that had deemed the notice arbitrary, affirming the NCTE Executive Committee's authority to require these reports. Emphasizing the critical role of elementary school teachers in child development and nation-building, the court recognized TEIs and NCTE as key duty bearers in ensuring quality teacher education under the Right to Education framework.
