The Supreme Court order last year mandates the TET for all in-service teachers of primary and upper primary classes, requiring them to qualify within two years to continue in service.
Earlier on May 30, the Minister had said that the Government has always acted responsibly and proactively on the TET issue concerning teachers in J-K and remains fully committed to safeguarding teachers’ interests.
In February this year, the J-K School Education Department kept its order regarding the designation of Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE)/State School Standards Authority (SSSA) as the nodal agency for conducting TET in abeyance.
