Teacher Eligibility Test ( TET ) is Compulsory for Teacher Post
The implementation of the Right to Children to Free and Compulsory Eduction ( RTE ) Act, 2009 requires the recruitment of a large number of teachers
across the country in a time bound manner. Inspite of the enormity of the task, it is desirable to ensure that quality requirement for recruitment of teachers are not diluted at any cost. It is therefore necessary to ensure that persons recruited as teachers possess the essential aptitude and ability to meet the challenges of teaching at the primary and upper primary level.
2 In accordance with the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 23 of the Right
of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) has laid down the minimum qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in class I to VIII, vide its Notification dated August 23, 2010. A copy of the Notification is attached at Annexure 1. One of the essential qualifications for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher in any of the schools referred to in clause (n) of section 2 of the RTE Act is that he/she should pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) which will be conducted by the appropriate Government.
3 The rationale for including the TET as a minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for appointment as a teacher is as under:
i. It would bring national standards and benchmark of teacher quality in the
recruitment process;
ii. It would induce teacher education institutions and students from these institutions to further improve their performance standards;
iii. It would send a positive signal to all stakeholders that the Government lays
special emphasis on teacher quality
4 The TET examination may be conducted by a suitable professional body designated by the appropriate Government for the purpose. It will be conducted in accordance with the Guidelines hereunder.
Eligibility
5 The following persons shall be eligible for appearing in the TET:
i. A person who has acquired the academic and professional qualifications
specified in the NCTE Notification dated 23rd August 2010.
ii. A person who is pursuing any of the teacher education courses (recognized
by the NCTE or the RCI, as the case may be) specified in the NCTE Notification dated 23rd August 2010.
iii. The eligibility condition for appearing in TET may be relaxed in respect of a
State/UT which has been granted relaxation under sub-section (2) of section
23 of the RTE Act. The relaxation will be specified in the Notification issued
by the Central Government under that sub-section.

Coming: Code of ethics for teachers
Coming: Code of ethics for teachers
New Delhi: Like doctors and lawyers, teachers may soon be subject to a “code of professional ethics”, which includes clauses for disciplinary action over corporal punishment, private tuitions and other “anti-community” activities.
If accepted by the government, the proposed code would apply to school teachers across the country, from primary to secondary and senior secondary levels, and across government as well as private schools, with the aim of restoring "dignity and integrity" to the vocation of teaching.

Code of Professional Ethics for School Teachers
Introduction
It is universally felt that like all other professions, the teaching profession should
also have its Code of Professional Ethics which is a pre-requisite to ensure its dignity
and integrity. It is also significant that the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory
Education Act, 2009 entails on teachers some onerous professional responsibilities to
be internalized by them in the performance of their duties. Accordingly, it is considered
necessary that the Code of Professional Ethics be evolved and adopted by the teaching
community.
For the purpose of this Code, the term “teacher” covers all school teachers,
whether in government or private schools, on full time or part time basis, at the
elementary and secondary levels and the teachers holding administrative and
supervisory positions
The Code of Professional Ethics for teachers provides a framework of principles
to guide them in discharging their obligations towards students, parents, colleagues and
community. Increased awareness of the ethical principles governing the teaching
profession is essential to ensure ‘professionalism’ among teachers.
Preamble
— Recognizing that every child has a fundamental right to education of good
quality;
— Recognizing that education should be directed to the all round development of
the human personality;
— Recognizing the need for developing faith in the guiding principles of our polity,
viz., democracy, social justice and secularism;
7
— Recognizing the need to promote through education the concept of composite
culture of India and a sense of national identity;
— Recognizing that teachers, being an integral part of the social milieu, share the
needs and aspirations of the people;
— Recognizing the need to enhance self-esteem of teachers;
— Recognizing the need to organize teaching as a profession for which expert
knowledge, specialized skills and dedication are pre-requisites;
— Recognizing that the community respect and support for the teachers are
dependent on the teachers’ professionalism, and
— Recognizing the need for self-direction and self-discipline among members of the
teaching community;
the present Code of Professional Ethics for school teachers has been
evolved to provide direction and guidance to the teachers in enhancing the
dignity of their professional work.
