AGARTALA, Feb 14 (TIWN): iplab Deb’s fraudsters in action to fool public ahead of Lok Sabha Election. Modi Govt has kept Tripura near zero-balance, central fund deprivation which is everyday evident from Ministers’ and CM’s speeches. Even though huge propagandas were made regarding relaxation in teachers recruitment in Tripura, saying huge numbers of teachers are needed for the schools on urgent basis, but taking a U-Turn from relaxing teachers qualification, today in a meeting with SCERT, Ratanlal Nath said that not only TET but after that also the “proper filtering” should be done so that there is no compromise with the teachers quality. The same Minister who faced massive protest by B.Ed qualified / undergoing students in front of Secretariat after Govt sought relaxation for teachers recruitment from the Central Govt and also sent legal notices against 40 agitators and few were arrested, but after Central govt relaxed the qualification, now Ratanlal Nath has reminded the importance of double “filtering”.

The issue is not only about relaxation and indeed without B.Ed qualification teachers recruitment is not healthy for the future of Education, but what Ratanlal Nath meant was the TET will be slow and tough and hard-filtering will be done. 

Above 5000 youths are unemployed who are having B.Ed degrees already or in the last semester.

“I know, in media reports are coming mixing unemployment and teachers recruitment. But, I will not do that. If needed Rs. 10 lakhs of loans will be given to unemployed youths so that they can become establish but no compromise will be done regarding teachers quality”, said Ratanlal Nath signaling he needs quality of teachers.

However, teachers recruitment already in Tripura is via TET, but Education Minister asserter further, via TET he would “Filter Teachers” and will chose the “best teachers”. 

Ratanlal Nath came in explanation because recently his department cancelled more than 3000 vacant posts under Education dept and the TET exam was cancelled.

Tripura Govt has stopped the TET exam for an uncertain period of time. Also the upcoming TET Exam which was scheduled to be held on February 24 has been cancelled. In a notification, dated 11.2.2019, Controller of the Examination, TET-Tripura informed, “Referring to our Examination No-5-2018, dated 7-12-2018 and information vide No.F.2 (1-18) GEN/TRBT/REC/2018-19/311 & information vide No.F.2 (1-18) GEN/TRBT/REC/2018-19-312, dated 7-12-2018 is being informed to all concerned that recruitment process of all Graduate Teachers (IX-X) and Post Graduate Teachers (XI-XII) is kept in abeyance until further order”.
