NTA appeals to NCTE to protect service benefits of teachers appointed before TET

The Navya Andhra Teachers Association (NTA) has urged the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) to protect the service benefits of teachers appointed before the introduction of the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) and rationalise the examination pattern of TET Paper-II.

NTA State president Karanam Harikrishna and general secretary Maganti Srinivasa Rao submitted a representation to the NCTE chairman in New Delhi on Friday on the issue.

The association sought legal relief for teachers appointed through District Selection Committee (DSC) recruitment in accordance with the NCTE qualifications and government rules prevailing at the time of their appointment and urged the council to consider their specific circumstances and explore legally permissible measures to safeguard their interests.
