Minority schools exempted from TET: Madras HC

India Today  

The Madras High Court ruled that the Teachers Eligibility Test would not be applied to minority-run educational institutions. The petition submitted by M Ani sought to overturn an order by the Tiruvallur District Education Officer which was passed in July 2017, in addition to seeking direction from the other authorities to continue paying her salary with all service benefits. The order passed in July 2017 by the Tiruvallur District Education Officer was seeking to recover the increments that had already been granted to her because she had not qualified for TET. TET QUALIFICATION NOT REQUIRED FOR MINORITY-RUN INSTITUTIONS The senior counsel representing the petitioner argued that a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court has already held that the prescription of TET qualification in terms of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 is not applicable to minority institutions. While accepting the arguments, the judge overturned the Tiruvallur DEO proceedings while directing the authorities to grant appropriate yearly increments that are otherwise admissible to the petitioner.
