Only TET Pass Teacher Allowed

Due to this, despite the passing of the TET, almost 70,000 teachers who are sitting at home without a job will face the burden of disqualifying the salary of the disqualified teachers in the government.

The order was sent by Swapnil Kapadnis, Under Secretary to the School Education Department, to the Director of Education. Accordingly, non-TET teachers have been asked to submit an urgent report to the government by taking action in accordance with the government’s decision dated 5 August 2018.
