HC- seek instruction in PIL on language teacher TET, Urdu teachers

The Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench today asked the UP Government counsel to seek instructions and present facts as regards the PIL filed by me against Uttar Pradesh Teacher's Eligibility Test (UP-TET) for language teachers.

The bench consisting of Justices Imtiyaz Murtaza and D K Upadhyaya gave this order after hearing all the parties and fixed Monday (31 March) as the next date of hearing.

The PIL says that the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) is the designated authority to fix minimum qualification for appointment of teachers, which has issued "Guidelines for conducting Teacher Eligibility Test (TET)" dated 11 February 2011. These Guidelines prescribe five subjects, including child Development and Pedagogy, two Languages, Mathematics and Environmental Studies for TET.

Unlike this mandatory provision, in UP a new class of language teachers have been created for whom the TET consists only of child development and pedagogy and the concerned language.

Calling it as being completely against the NCTE guidelines and detrimental to elementary education, I prayed to cancel all TETs for language teachers and the appointment to Assistance Urdu teachers done through these TET.
