In a major relief for thousands of experienced teachers in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Mr. Yogi Adityanath has directed the Education Department to file a revision petition against the Supreme Court’s recent order mandating the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for continued service and promotions in the Basic Education Department.

This move aims to address the concerns of long-serving educators who fear job insecurity due to the retrospective application of the TET requirement, especially those nearing retirement.

Government Acknowledges Experience and Training

Mr. Adityanath emphasized that the teachers serving in Uttar Pradesh’s Basic Education Department are not only experienced but have also undergone regular training provided by the state government. He asserted that it would be inappropriate to overlook their decades of service and qualifications.

“The teachers of our state have dedicated years to the education system. They have been continually trained by the government. Their contributions and qualifications must be acknowledged,” said the Chief Minister during a recent meeting.

Supreme Court’s TET Ruling Creates Uncertainty

The Supreme Court’s recent directive, which mandates TET qualification for teachers from grades 1 to 8—even those already in service—has created widespread concern across the education sector in Uttar Pradesh. Teachers’ associations reported rising anxiety among educators, particularly those who were appointed before July 29, 2011, and who believed they were exempt under the provisions of the Right to Education (RTE) Act.

Many veteran teachers, some just years away from retirement, now face the daunting prospect of needing to pass the TET examination to retain their positions or become eligible for promotions.

CM Yogi Responds to Teachers’ Appeals

Various teachers’ organizations have been consistently demanding relief from this requirement. Several representatives had personally met with Mr. Adityanath to raise the issue and advocate for experienced teachers.

Responding swiftly, the Chief Minister’s decision to challenge the Supreme Court’s order has reignited hope among teachers. The Education Department has already initiated preparations to file the revision petition.

Teachers Seek Legal and Policy Relief

Teachers argue that under the RTE Act, those appointed before the July 29, 2011 cut-off were exempt from the TET requirement. They believe that, if presented effectively by the state government, their case could receive sympathetic consideration from the apex court.

Educators have also expressed hope that, if needed, the state government could consider amending the relevant rules or requesting central intervention to ensure justice for long-serving teachers who have met previous eligibility norms and served for over a decade.

Path Forward: Legal Action and Policy Advocacy

The decision to file a revision petition reflects the Yogi Adityanath government’s commitment to safeguarding the interests of its teaching workforce. The move aligns with the broader aim of balancing judicial compliance with respect for institutional experience and practical service conditions.

This development not only offers hope to lakhs of teachers across the state but also reinforces the role of the state in protecting the rights and dignity of its employees while maintaining quality education.
