The Kerala government has frozen its order implementing the Kerala Teachers' Eligibility Test (K-TET) for appointments and promotions, following Supreme Court rulings. The state plans to file a review petition, aiming to protect teachers appointed before April 1, 2010, who fear job loss. Minister V Sivankutty stated that applying new requirements retroactively is unjust and would weaken the education system, emphasizing Kerala's historical educational achievements. The government seeks to exempt pre-2010 teachers and those with higher qualifications from the K-TET mandate.
