400 teachers denied increments, adequate pay over TET rule

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Around 400 teachers employed in schools run by the Archdiocesan Board of Education in Mumbai are up in arms over the management’s decision to deny them increments for over five years citing lack of qualifications that were made mandatory after their appointment. In 2019, the board made it mandatory for its teachers to clear the state-level teacher’s eligibility test, in keeping with a 2013 state government circular saying teachers had to clear either the Central Teachers Eligibility Test or the Maharashtra Teachers Eligibility Test. The nearly 400 teachers working in ABE-run schools were all appointed before 2019, and the management’s decision put them in a fix, more so because they were denied increments in line with the seventh pay commission, also introduced in 2019, citing lack of qualifications. In March 2024, ABE agreed to accept CTET qualifications but introduced a new clause – teachers who passed CTET would be issued fresh appointment letters in June 2024 without factoring in their prior experience.
