Tamil Nadu Assembly Seeks Permanent TET Exemption for Pre-2010 Teachers
The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution seeking a full and permanent exemption from the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for government school teachers appointed before August 23, 2010. The resolution aims to protect the employment and service benefits of over 3.28 lakh experienced teachers who may face job security issues if required to clear TET. The Delhi Government Schools Teachers' Association has also urged the Union Education Minister to consider long service as an alternative qualification. The Supreme Court recently extended the TET qualification deadline to August 31, 2028.
