Databank of Teachers

According to the Statistics of School Education (2009-10), the total number of teachers in the country from pre-primary to senior secondary is 67.23 lakh. To meet the Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) norms specified under the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, the Government has sanctioned 8.17 lakh additional teachers posts between 2010 and 2012 under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) 

The Government has taken several steps for preparing and providing quality teachers. The Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Teacher Education for the XII Plan envisages establishment of District Institutes of Education and Training in all districts created upto March, 2011 and of Block Institutes of Teacher Education for expanding capacity of teacher preparation. The National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) grants recognition to institutions for starting programmes of teacher education. Several State Governments have also taken steps to expand teacher preparation capacity. In pursuance of the RTE Act, the NCTE has laid down the minimum teacher qualifications, including the requirement of passing the Teacher Eligibility Test as an essential qualification for being eligible for appointment as a teacher. Under the Sarva Shisksha Abhiyan, financial assistance is provided to the State Governments to enable the teachers of class I-VIII not possessing the minimum qualifications to acquire the same by 2015, and for training of in-service teachers for improving quality. 

This information was given by Dr. D. Purandeswari, Minister of State for Human Resource Development in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.

Teacher Oppose Aptitude Test for Promotion to Head Masters (HM) in Kerala
Kerala Teacher Eligibility Test News :
Teacher’s associations have come out against the General Education Department proposal to conduct a mandatory aptitude test for promotion to the post of headmaster.

The State Council for Education Research and Training has been entrusted with preparing norms for the test.

The pro-CPM Kerala School Teachers Association general secretary, Mr M. Shajahan, told Deccan Chronicle that the move, backed by the office of education minister, Mr P.K. Abdu Rabb, was aimed at promoting Arabic, Urdu and Sanskrit teachers without B Ed degree as headmasters.

The earlier curriculum committee decision to declare a language diploma in these subjects as a B Ed-equivalent was part of this move,he alleged.

Of the nine teacher organisations, only three support the aptitude test. Organizations that support the move belong to Arabic and Urdu teachers and Muslim League, he said.

Promoting teachers without B Ed or Teacher's Training Certificate would benefit over 500 high school and 2,000 primary schoolteachers.

The office of the minister had earlier suggested promoting Arabic, Urdu and Sanskrit teachers without B Ed degree or TTC as headmasters arguing that the Right to Education (RTE) Act permitted promotion of any teacher, who passed the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), to the post.

However, those opposed to the move point out that the RTE Act proposed TET as an eligibility test for appointment of teachers and not for promotion.

The pro-Congress Government School Teachers Union president, Mr J. Sasi, pointed out that Kerala Education Rules stipulated a degree and BEd for appointment as high school teachers and TTC for primary teachers.

Now most language teachers without BEd or TTC work as Arabic munshis in Malappuram district, according to sources.
