Bockground and Rationale

 

               The implementation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2009 requires the recruitment of a large number of Teacher accross the country in a time bound manner. Inspite of the enormity of the task, it is desirable to ensure that quality requirement for recruitment of Teacher are not diluted at any cost. It is therefore necessary to ensure that persons recruited as Teachers possess the essential aptitude and ability to meet the challenges of teachimng at the Primary and Upper-primary level.

             2. In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 23 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2009, the NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) has laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a Teacher in class I to Class VIII, vide its Notification dated August 23, 2010. A copy of the Notification is attached at Annexure-1. One of the essential qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a Teacher in any of the Schools referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is that he/she should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conduted by the appropriate Government.

           3.The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a Teacher is as under:

• (i) It would bring national standards and benchmark of Teacher quality in the recruitment process.

• (ii) It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these institutions to further improve their performance standards;

• (iii) It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays special emphasis on teacher quality.

       4.The TET examination may be conducted by a suitable professional body designated by the appropriate Government for the purpose. It will be conducted in accordance with the Guidelines hereunder.

Eligibility

           5. The following persons shall be eligible for appearing in the TET

• (i) A person who has acquired the academic and professional qualifications specified in the NCTE Notification dated 23rd August 2010.

• (ii) A person who is pursuing any of the teacher education courses (recognized by the NCTE or the RCI, as the case may be) specified in the NCTE Notification dated 23rd August 2010.

• (iii) The eligibility condition for appearing in TET may be relaxed in respect of a State /UT which has been granted relaxation under sub-section (2) of section 23 of the RTE Act. The relaxation will be specified in the Notification issued by the Central Government under that sub-sction.
