The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Uttar Pradesh government has ordered a special Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for about 142,818 already-employed teachers, including 64,062 primary teachers, 76,256 upper-primary teachers and 2,500 special educators.
- The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that made the TET mandatory for primary-level teachers, and the education selection commission has been asked to prepare a plan for the exam.
- Separately, the Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench prompted the department to extend the application deadline to August 5 for married (couple) teachers seeking inter-district transfers.
- In a related matter, the Supreme Court questioned the government's list in the 69,000 assistant teacher recruitment case involving reservation errors, with around 8,270 seats affected, and fixed the next hearing for July 28.
What to watch next
- The plan the UP Education Service Selection Commission prepares and the schedule for the special TET for employed teachers.
- The Supreme Court hearing on July 28 in the 69,000 teacher recruitment case and whether the government's revised list and cutoffs are accepted.
- Whether teachers get relief through Parliament or courts, as affected teachers nationwide are pressing for exemption from the TET mandate during the monsoon session.
