CTET 2019 – Notification, Eligibility, Application Form and Exam Pattern
Under the provisions of sub-section (1) of Section 23 of the RTE Act, the National Council for Teacher Education vides Notification dated 23rd August 2010 & 29th July 2011 laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher for class I – VIII. It had been inter alia provided that one of the essential requirements for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools referred to in Clause of sec 2 of the RTE Act is that he/she should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test which will be conducted by the appropriate Government in accordance with the Guidelines framed by the NCTE.
The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under:
- It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the recruitment process.
- It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these institutions to further improve their performance standards.
It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays particular emphasis on teacher quality
