A controversy has erupted over teacher promotions, with only TET-qualified candidates eligible. The department's decision has sparked debate.
The education department has announced that only teachers who have cleared the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) will be considered for promotions. This decision has led to a controversy among teachers who have not cleared the TET. The department's move is aimed at ensuring that only qualified teachers are promoted to higher positions. However, many teachers are opposing this decision, citing their years of experience and dedication to the profession. The controversy is likely to escalate in the coming days, with teachers' unions and associations planning to protest against the decision.
