Tamil Nadu Seeks TET Exemption for Pre-2010 Teachers Amid Madhya Pradesh Boycott
The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution seeking exemption from the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) for teachers appointed before August 23, 2010, urging the Union government to amend the Right to Education Act accordingly. Over 3.28 lakh teachers face potential job risks due to the Supreme Court's directive to clear TET by August 31, 2028. Meanwhile, in Madhya Pradesh, teachers have boycotted the TET application process amid confusion over eligibility and exam conditions following a similar Supreme Court ruling.
