In
accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of Section 23 of the
RTE Act, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) vide
Notification dated 23rd August, 2010 and 29th JULY, 2011 laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher for class I to VIII.
It had been inter alia provided that
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 conducted by the appropriate
Government in accordance with the Guidelines framed by the NCTE.
The
rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person
to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under:
-
It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the recruitment process;
-
It
would induce teacher education institutions and students from these
institutions to further improve their performance standards;
-
It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays special emphasis on teacher quality
The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India
has entrusted the responsibility of conducting the
Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) to the Central Board of Secondary Education Delhi.
