Tamil Nadu Assembly Seeks Exemption from TET for Pre-2010 Teachers
The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution urging the Union Government to exempt teachers appointed before August 23, 2010, from the mandatory Teachers Eligibility Test (TET). Approximately 3,28,701 teachers with 15 to 20 years of service face potential job risks, including loss of promotions or termination, following a Supreme Court ruling requiring TET clearance by August 31, 2028. The resolution calls for amending the Right to Education Act to protect these teachers' job security and benefits. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh teachers have boycotted TET applications, seeking clarity and relief on eligibility and exam conditions.
