Secondary teachers handling classes 6-8 seek clarity on TET requirements in TN
CHENNAI: Teachers’ associations have welcomed a Madras High Court direction to the school education department to consider a representation seeking clarity on the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) requirements for in-service teachers and pass appropriate orders within eight weeks.
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, in its order dated August 3, directed the department to consider the representations submitted by a secondary grade teacher.
The representations sought clarity on whether teachers appointed as secondary grade teachers, but currently teaching classes 6 to 8, should appear for TET Paper I or Paper II. The petitioner had also sought an in-service teacher refresher course instead of TET.
