TNTET :Supreme Court issues notice to T.N. on teachers’ appointment

TNTET :Supreme Court issues notice to T.N. on teachers’ appointment


The petitioners allege that the criteria for selection were changed after the process started




The Supreme Court on Monday made it clear to the Tamil Nadu government that its appointment of 6,000 teachers till date by revising the norms would be subject to the outcome of an appeal.

A Bench of Justices Ibrahim Kalifulla and A.M. Sapre passed the order, issuing notice to the State on special leave petitions filed by Lavanya and others, challenging two conflicting judgments of the Madras High Court.

Conflicting verdicts

While the Madurai Bench quashed the G.O by which the government altered the criteria, the principal seat upheld it. Hence, an authoritative pronouncement was required from the Supreme Court, the petitioners said.

Test and weightage marks

The petitioners said they had written the Teacher Eligibility Test conducted by the Teachers Recruitment Board on August 18, 2013, and secured pass marks under the criteria fixed by the Board. They were also awarded weightage marks based on the academic qualification as per the criteria set forth in the G.O. dated October 5, 2012. They subsequently took part in the selection for the post of BT Assistant, and they were called to attend certificate verification conducted on January 23 and 24 this year.

The government issued orders, dated February 6, 2014, granting relaxation of 5 per cent of marks to the candidates belonging to the SC/ST, BC, MBC, BCM, de-notified communities and persons with disability, reducing the pass marks to 55 per cent from 60 per cent. This was sought to be applied to candidates who wrote the test on August 18, 2013. About 6,000 teachers had been appointed so far. The petitioners were aggrieved by the change in the criteria after the selection started, and wanted the appointment quashed.

The Bench directed that the mater be listed after six weeks.

Only 37,000 of 7 Lakh clear teacher eligibility test


Only one out of every eighteen aspirants who appeared for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2014 cleared the exam




http://naukri-recruitment-result.blogspot.com/

Roy said that the reason for the bad results is the reluctance by teachers to update their knowledge. “Teachers maybe good in delivery but they lack content knowledge. As the syllabus is advancing, teachers too need to constantly be updated on their subject,” she added.

Roy Mam Ka Kehna Hai - Ki Teacher Apne Gyan ko Update / Bada Nahin Rahe, Gyan Ka Abhaav Hai.
Teachers ko Lagatar Current Syllabus Va Gyan Ko Update Karna Chahiye.

-----



Only one out of every eighteen aspirants who appeared for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2014 cleared the exam, raising questions over the quality of training given to teachers in the country.


Out of 6.6 lakh candidates appearing for the exam from across the country on September 21, only 37,472 cleared it. While 5.6% of aspirants cleared both papers in the CTET, only 11.9% cleared paper –I; 2.8% cleared paper-II. The papers tests teachers’ knowledge in the languages and the subjects they will be teaching.
The results in this test was just a tad better than the last exam conducted in January when only 2% students passed the exam. The CTET exam, conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE),  is mandatory for teachers who teach classes 1 to 8.
The dismal performance of teachers has raised concern among experts. “It is shocking to see that a majority of teachers passing from teacher training institutes cannot clear a basic eligibility test that tests their knowledge,” said Basanti Roy, former divisional secretary of the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.
Roy said that the reason for the bad results is the reluctance by teachers to update their knowledge. “Teachers maybe good in delivery but they lack content knowledge. As the syllabus is advancing, teachers too need to constantly be updated on their subject,” she added.
On the other hand, principals of CBSE schools said that teachers who do not teach languages failed in language papers, especially Hindi. All candidates have to mandatorily appear for Hindi and English papers and the minimum passing marks is 60%.
If science teachers are made to answer language tests, obviously they will not perform well,” said Raj Alonee, principal of Ram Sheth Thakur Public School, Kharghar. “Those who have not studied Hindi after school or college find the test very difficult. Teachers from Mumbai are particularly facing this problem.”
Some principals also blamed those candidates who gave the test after a long break from their studies for the poor results. “Candidates who have cleared BEd or MEd five or six years back and giving the test now, have lost touch with their subjects and are unable to clear this theoretical exam,” said Avnita Bir, principal of RN Podar School, Santacruz.

TNTET : Teacher Eligibility Test: Organizations demand TN govt to file review petition in HC

TNTET : Teacher Eligibility Test: Organizations demand TN govt to file review petition in HC




CHENNAI: Three organisations in Tamil Nadu will hold protests in Chennai, Madurai, Salem and Coimbatore on October 8 to demand the state government file a review petition in the high court after the Madurai bench of the Madras high court quashed a government order which relaxed the minimum qualifying marks for the reserved category of teachers appearing in the Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test.

The high court's order had led to confusion and denied the reserved category candidates their right guaranteed under the Constitution, said a statement from the Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front, the Tamil Nadu Tribals' Association and the State Platform for Common School System.

"The government has failed to respond to our representation requesting it to file review petition," the statement said.

जागरण संवाददाता, इलाहाबाद : केन्द्रीय माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड (सीबीएसई) अपने ही प्रश्नों में फंसता नजर आ रहा है। बोर्ड ने 21 सितम्बर को आयोजित किए केन्द्रीय अध्यापक पात्रता परीक्षा (सीटीईटी) की उत्तर कुंजी में खुद ही अपने आप को गलत ठहराते हुए एक ही प्रश्न के अलग-अलग सेट में अलग-अलग उत्तर दिखाया है। बोर्ड ने कुल 30 प्रश्नों में से 15 प्रश्नों के दो-दो उत्तर जारी कर दिए हैं।1रविवार 21 सितम्बर को देशभर के कई केन्द्रों में आयोजित हुई इस परीक्षा में 6.98 लाख परीक्षार्थी पंजीकृत थे। बोर्ड ने प्रश्नों के सही उत्तर गुरुवार को जारी किये। उत्तर कुंजी जारी होते ही छात्रों ने प्रश्नों के उत्तर से मिलान किया तो सीबीएसई की बड़ी गलतियों का खुलासा हो गया। बोर्ड ने एक ही प्रश्न को अलग-अलग सेट में अलग प्रश्न संख्या के रूप में दिया था और जब उत्तर कुंजी जारी हुई तो उन्हीं प्रश्नों के दो- दो उत्तर जारी कर दिए। इसके अलावा कई प्रश्नों के उत्तर भी गलत जारी कर दिया। बोर्ड ने प्रश्नपत्र के क्यू सेट में भाषा के द्वितीय प्रश्नपत्र के प्रश्न संख्या 123 में कस्य ध्वनि: श्रूयते पूछते हुए इसका उत्तर दूसरे विकल्प वंश्या को बताया है जबकि इसी प्रश्न को टी सेट में प्रश्न संख्या 138 में पूछते हुए इसका उत्तर भेर्या: बताया है। इसी तरह से क्यू सेट के प्रश्न संख्या 124, 125, 126, 127, 132, 133, 135, 140, 142, 143, 144, 145, 147, 148 व 149 पर भी छात्रों ने आपत्ति जाहिर की। छात्रों ने बोर्ड के रवैये पर भी आक्रोश जाहिर किया है। सीटीईटी के एक ही प्रश्नपत्र के आधे प्रश्नों पर उठ रही आपत्ति बोर्ड के कई और गलतियों का संकेत दे रही हैं। हालांकि समय कम होने के कारण छात्र भी असमंजस में पड़े हुए हैं कि वो कैसे सभी प्रश्नों के सही उत्तर जांच कर सामने ला सकें। 25 सितम्बर को अपरान्ह जारी हुए प्रश्नपत्रों की उत्तरकुंजी के आधार पर बोर्ड ने 26 सितम्बर तक ही आपत्ति दर्ज कराने का समय दिया है।

TNTET Weightage System for Recruitment of Teachers Valid

TNTETWeightage System for Recruitment of Teachers Valid



TNTET  / टीईटी / TET - Teacher Eligibility Test Updates / Teacher Recruitment  /SARKARI NAUKRI NEWS  / SARKARI NAUKRI News


CHENNAI: Bringing the curtains down on the raging controversy over weightage in teachers’ recruitment, Madras High Court on Monday upheld the new system, observing that the object and rationale behind it was to have more qualified ones as teachers.

The Court upheld the orders of a single judge and a consequent GO dated May 30 this year, which applied weightage system for recruitment of secondary grade teachers in the State.

“There is no material available before us to hold that the Government did not apply its mind. The object and rationale behind the selection of teachers is to have more qualified ones to teach the students. This can only be augmented by a wider participation. Therefore, the policy decision taken by the government keeping in mind the public interest, cannot be assailed,” observed the Second Bench of Justices SK Agnihotri and MM Sundaresh.

The Bench was dismissing a batch of writ appeals challenging the orders on a single Judge dated April 29 and writ petitions questioning the May 30 GO, which was passed based on that.

The Bench said the methodology adopted by the government in quantifying the percentage of marks with respect to Teacher Eligibility Test could not be termed as arbitrary, as contended by the appellants and petitioners. It is for them to demonstrate that the methodology adopted is not correct.

“The single Judge had correctly found that the earlier methodology adopted was not correct. The government has correctly removed the anomalies and adopted a more rational method, compared to those adopted in States like Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, where less percentage of marks had been given to the marks obtained in the TET,” the Bench pointed out.

There was no non-application of mind and there was nothing wrong in the suggestion made by the single Judge. He had merely stated that it was for the government to adopt either the suggestions made by him or to follow any other method. The government had found it fit to adopt the suggestion made by him, as being reasonable and fair. “We do not find any illegality in passing the GO,” the Bench said.

TNTET :MHC upholds govt order on TET with regard to weightage marks

TNTET  :MHC upholds govt order on TET with regard to weightage marks



The Madras High Court brought to an end a raging debate over government norms for selection of school teachers by upholding the policy giving 60 per cent weightage for Teacher Eligibility Test marks and 40 per cent weightage for marks obtained in Plus Two, degree and B.Ed courses.

A division bench, comprising Justices Satish K Agnihotri and M M Sundresh, concurred with submissions of Tamil Nadu Advocate General A L Somayaji and dismissed a batch of petitions and appeals in this regard.

"The 40 per cent of marks has been divided between the marks obtained in Plus 2 examination, degree and B.Ed examination. Therefore, the authorities have taken into consideration three different examinations. Such a yardstick adopted can only be fair and equitable," the bench said.

Two changes made after teacher selection tests were completed led to the ongoing agitations by candidates who had cleared TET or enjoy seniority in employment exchanges.

First, government said TET scores alone would not suffice for teacher posts and later it granted five-mark relaxation for reserved communities. As a result, 60 per cent of TET marks and 40 per cent of qualification exam marks were taken into account.

While 60 marks was cut off for other communities, the minimum mark was brought down to 55 for reserved communities.

Assailing the changes, the petitioners and appellants submitted that the state government did not have the power or authority to reduce the qualifying pass mark and said rights accrued to them could not be taken away by a subsequent action of the government.

The AG, however, argued that the government had statutory backing to modify the selection procedure, including fixing of qualification and marks.

Noting that the new policy would give more candidates an opportunity to participate, he said its rational yardstick could not be questioned by candidates.

The judges agreed with him and said the relaxation in the qualifying marks did not take away the rights of petitioner candidates from being considered on merit. It did not dilute, vary or modify the status of petitioner-candidates, they said.

"We also find that the methodology adopted by the authorities is more rational compared to those adopted in some other states such as Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal where less percentage of marks had been given to the marks obtained in the Teacher Eligibility Test," the bench said.

TNTET :Scrap Teachers’ Eligibility Test weightage system: PMK, DMDK

TNTET :Scrap Teachers’ Eligibility Test weightage system: PMK, DMDK


*****************************
In Tamilnadu, Selection through TET marks Merit is Demanded By Protestors.
And they don't want Selection Through Weightage of TET marks.
Recently new system is adopted by Tamilnadu Govt, i.e Base of Selection = Acad Marks Weightage + TET Marks Weighatage.
***********************************

See News :->



The teacher aspirants have been protesting against the weightage system introduced by the TN Teachers Recruitment Board. Apart from Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET) scores, the evaluation method was changed to award 40 per cent weightage to plus-2, graduation and B.Ed marks. According to the protesters, the new system would give young applicants, who have not scored high marks in the TET, an edge over their older counterparts with higher TET marks.

Mr Vijayakanth urged the government to hold talks with protesting teachers to resolve the issue amicably. “The government must appoint teachers based on the marks scored in TET alone. The wieghtage system should be scrapped,” he said, demanding the state government to withhold TET exam until all graduate teachers were given appointments.

Dr S. Ramadoss noted that weightage system was not followed for recruitment of PG teachers and hence, it was unnecessary to follow this in the appointment of graduate teachers alone.
