In respect of planned and coordinated development for teachers education, the provisions of 1993 Act has been enforced. This is a Central Act enacted by Parliament and after receiving assent of the President on 29.12.1993 was published in the Gazette of India, (Extra.) Part II, Section 1, dated 30.12.1993. Section 1(3) provides that Act 1993 shall come into force on such date as the Central Government may appoint by notification in initial gazette. Pursuant thereto the Central Government by notification dated 1.07.1995 appointed the same day i.e. 01.7.1995 for enforcement of Act 1993.
The Act 1993 was enacted with an objective of achieving planned and coordinated development for teacher education system throughout the country, the regulation and properly maintenance of norms and standards in teacher education system and for matters connected therewith. The Act 1993 contemplates establishment of a council called as "National Council For Teacher Education" (hereinafter referred as "NCTE") and its functions are enumerated in detail in Section 12 of Act 1993. It clearly talks of planned and co-ordinated development of teacher education, and determination and maintenance of standards for teacher education. It is in this regard various subjects and functions of NCTE have been enumerated in Section 12 from Clauses (a) to (n).
The Act 1993 contemplates recognition and permission of NCTE for running courses or training in teacher education. Section 17 provides, if course or training in teacher education has been imparted or obtained in violation of the provisions of the Act, such course or training shall not be treated a valid qualification for the purpose of employment under Central Act, State Government, University, any School/College or other educational body aided by Central or the State Government. The restriction imposed by Section 17(4) is only to the extent that a training or course in teacher education which does not conform to the various provisions of Act 1993 shall not be a valid qualification for employment as stated above, and nothing more and nothing less. The entire Act 1993 does not talk of the manner in which appointments of teachers shall be made, the eligibility to be laid down for appointment of teachers in Primary Schools etc. except qualification. It is confined to the standard and quality of teachers' education. NCTE can lay down minimum qualification which may be prescribed for appointment of a teacher but it does not control the mode, manner and other relevant provisions regarding recruitment and appointment of such teachers. In State of U.P. and Others Vs. Bhupendra Nath Tripathi and Ors. 2010 (5) ESC 630, the Apex Court has clarified this situation that NCTE can lay down minimum qualification for appointment of teacher by competent appointing authority or the authority competent to frame rules and regulations may lay down any qualification over and above the minimum qualification prescribed by N.C.T.E.
Article 41 in Part IV (Directive Principles of State Policy) provides that the State shall, within the limits of its economic capacity and development, make effective provision for securing right to work, to education etc. Similarly Article 45 provides that State shall endeavour to provide, within a period of ten years from the commencement of Constitution, free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen years. Said provisions have come up before Apex Court Court in Mohini Jain Vs. State of Karnataka, AIR 1992 SC 1858 and Unni Krishnan J.P. Vs. State of A.P., AIR 1993 SC 2178 and the cases followed thereafter observing Primary Education to children from age of 6 to 14 years as a constitutional right, efforts were made by Governments, Central and State both, to expand primary education by establishing primary schools at Village Panchayat level in a major way and this really gave opportunity to open number of new schools and correspondingly increase in number of teachers requiring to man these institution. Parliament also recognized above right by inserting Article 21A in the Constitution i.e. 'Right to Education', by Constitution (86th Amendment) Act, 2002, and, simultaneously inserted Clause (k) in Article 51A vide Section 4 of Constitution (86th Amendment) Act, 2002. The Parliament also in furtherance of the above constitutional provisions, come forward by enacting Act 2009 published in Gazette of India on 27.8.2009. By virtue of Section 1(3) of Act 2009, it has been given effect from 01.4.2010.
One of the major change it has brought, besides other, is that no Primary School other than a school established, owned or controlled by the appropriate Government or local body after commencement of 2009 Act shall be established or function without obtaining a certificate of recognition from such authority, as may be prescribed. For the purpose of seeking recognition, the school has to conform the norms and standard specified in Section 19 of Act 2009 read with the schedule appended thereto. The Act 2009, vide Section 23(1), also provides that any person possessing such minimum qualification, as laid down by an academic authority authorized by the Central Government, by notification, shall be eligible for appointment as a teacher.
Section 23 (2) of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 further proceeds to mention that where a State does not have adequate institutions offering courses for training in teacher education or teachers possessing minimum qualifications as laid down under sub-section (1) are not available in sufficient numbers, the Central Government may, if it deems necessary, by notification relax the minimum qualifications required for appointment as a teacher, for such period, not exceeding five years, as may be specified in that notification. A proviso has also been added to the aforesaid sub-section (2) of Section 23 mentioning that a teacher who at the commencement of this Act, does not possess minimum qualification as laid down under sub-section (1), shall acquire such minimum qualification within a period of five years. For the sake of convenience the provisions of sub-sections (1) and (2) of Section 23 are being excerpted below:


"23. Qualifications for appointment and terms and conditions of service of teachers.- (1) Any person possessing such minimum qualifications, as laid down by an academic authority authorized by the Central Government by notification shall be eligible for appointment as a teacher.

In respect of grant of compassionate appointment under 1981 Rules, there is no specific provision. Rule 10 of the 1981 Rules talks of relaxation and the State Government in its turn has issued Government Order on 04.09.2000 dealing with the grant of compassionate appointment. Relevant extract of the said Government Order is being quoted below:

On the parameters of the provisions quoted and discussed above, the case in hand is being looked into. Each one of the petitioners, claims to have been appointed in consonance with the Government Order dated 04.09.2000. In the said Government Order a specific provision has been provided therein that all those incumbents who fulfill the requisite educational qualification, but do not have training qualification, they can move application for grant of compassionate appointment and the said incumbent would be offered appointment and shall be sent for training of B.T.C. course in the respective District Institutes of Education and Training, and after they successfully complete the training, they would be offered appointment on regular basis. However, in case an incumbent fails to pass the aforesaid examination, his candidature would automatically stand cancelled and he would be offered appointment on class IV post and his claim may also be considered for appointment against class III post as per the exigency.

The moot question before this Court is that when the provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 have been enforced and necessary eligibility criteria has been fixed for being appointed as a teacher in the institutions defined under Section 2 (n) of the said Act, then as to whether appointment of an untrained person as teacher is feasible or not? by invoking the provisions of relaxation in the matter of compassionate appointment.
The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 has been enforced with effect from 27th August 2009 in the belief that the value of equality, social justice, democracy and creation of just a humane society can be achieved only through the elementary education to all. The provisions of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 also aims at including the children from disadvantaged group and weaker sections to get education, in consonance with the provisions of Article 21A of the Constitution. Apart from dealing with the right of children to free and compulsory education and making of special provision in the said direction, the Parliament has taken care of the fact that the teachers who are there to impart education, they should have also certain qualification for being appointed, and in view of this clear cut mandate has been made under Sub-section (1) of Section 23 of the said Act, that person possessing such minimum qualification as laid down by the academic authority authorized by the Central Government by notification, shall be eligible for being appointed as teacher. Sub-section (2) of Section 23 of 2009 Act gives liberty to the State Government to collect data of the adequacy of the institutions offering courses of training education, and in case teachers possessing minimum qualifications are not available in sufficient number, requesting Central Government to relax the minimum qualification required for appointment as a teacher, for such period not exceeding five years, as may be specified in the notification. A proviso has also been added providing that a teacher who at the commencement of this Act, does not possess minimum qualification as laid down under sub-section (1), shall acquire such minimum qualification within a period of five years. Apex Court in the case of State of U.P. vs. Bhupendra Nath Tripathi, 2010 (3) SCC 238, apart from holding that State can fix higher qualification, has taken the view that proper training of teacher is integral aspect in effectuation of right of education. Right conferred under Article 21A of the Constitution would remain illusory in the absence of State taking adequate steps to have required number of schools manned by efficient and qualified teachers. Precise mention has been made that before teachers are allowed to teach the children, they are required to receive appropriate and adequate training from duly recognized training institute.
The authority to fix minimum qualification has been out sourced by the Central Government and the NCTE has been declared as authorized academic authority to lay down minimum qualification for a person to be eligible for being appointed as teacher. The N.C.T.E. in its turn has proceeded to notify the educational qualification on 05.04.2010 as is required by Section 23 (2) of the 2009 Act and different sets of minimum qualifications have been provided for teachers for class I to V and class VI to class VIII with requirement to pass T.E.T. to be conducted by the appropriate Government in accordance with the guidelines framed for the purpose. The T.E.T. as such has to be conducted by the State Government. For the purpose of implementation of 2009 Act Rules have also been framed known as U.P. Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Rules, 2011 and the said Rules have been enforced with effect from 27th July, 2011. Said Rules have been framed in supercession of all existing rules and orders on the subject,

and Rule 15 is clear that minimum educational qualification for teachers laid down by an authority authorized by the Central Government shall be applicable for all schools referred to in clause (n) of Section 2. 
The State Government in its turn on 07.09.2011 proceeded to authorize the Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad to hold the T.E.T., and accordingly guidelines had also been issued to be complied with for passing T.E.T. (Teacher Eligibility Test)

Some people on facebook give interpretation / hearing details of this case as  -

According to Washeem Ahamad- न्यायमूर्ति विक्रम नाथ के कोर्ट नंबर एक में हमारे साथी सदानंद मिश्रा और उनके मित्र सीमांत सिंह ने कन्नौज के जितेन्द्र सिंह की याचिका संख्या 53620 पर शानदार बहस करते हुए जूनियर की भर्ती के ताबूत में पहली कील ठोंक दी ,,,, अब एकैडमिक वालों को पता चलेगा कि टेट मेरिट वालों से टकराने का क्या अंजाम होता है ,,अभी तो यह मात्र आगाज है,,,,,
याचिका पर बहस करते हुए हमारे वकीलों ने कोर्ट का ध्यान सरकार द्वारा NCTE की गाइड लाइन के उल्लंघन पर दिलाया जिसमें विज्ञान-गणित के शिक्षकों के लिए जूनियर में विज्ञान वर्ग का टेट पास होना अनिवार्य बताया गया है,,,जबकि बी.ए.गणित वालों ने कला वर्ग का टेट पास किया है,,,, जाहिर है वो NCTE द्वारा निर्धारित न्यूनतम योग्यता जूनियर का विज्ञान वर्ग का टेट पास होना पूरी नहीं करते ,, साथ ही बी.सी.ए.,बी.बी.ए.,बी.एस.सी.होम साइंस, B.U.M.S, B.H.M.S के पाठ्यक्रम को विज्ञान-गणित शिक्षकों की भर्ती के लिए अपर्याप्त बताया गया है ,,,,,
याचिका पर हुई बहस के बाद जज साहब ने पहले तो अपने माथे पर आय पसीना पोछने के बाद मंद स्वर में जो कहा उसे ना बताना ही बेहतर है वरना विज्ञान के एकैडमिक पुराधाओं के पैरों तले जमीन खिसक जायेगी,,,,उसके बाद जज साहब ने याचिकाओं में उठाये सभी बिंदुओं पर सहमति देते हुए हमारे वकीलों को अपनी ओर से एक परामर्श दिया कि NCTE को आप लोगों ने पार्टी क्यों नहीं बनाया ,,,,
कोर्ट ने सरकारी वकील को निर्देश दिया है कि वो अगली सुनवाई में (एक अक्टूबर ) में इस बारे में सरकार से निर्देश प्राप्त करके आये,,,,,

ये तो हुई कानूनी बात,,,, अब आते हैं असली मुद्दे पर,,,,,ऊपरी तौर से तो ऐसा लग रहा है कि इस मुकदमें का मकसद बी.ए गणित वालों समेत बी.सी.ए.,बी.बी.ए.,बी.एस.सी.होम साइंस, B.U.M.S, B.H.M.S को भर्ती से बाहर करवाना है ,,लेकिन इसके परिणाम उम्मीद से कुछ ज्यादा दूरगामी होने की उम्मीद है ,,,,, बी.ए. गणित वालों को बाहर करने पर वो अपील में जायेंगे और तर्क देंगे कि NCTE एवं सरकार द्वारा उन्हें विज्ञान वर्ग का का टेट देने का विकल्प नहीं दिया गया था जबकि वो गणित शिक्षक बनने के लिए गणित से स्नातक की अहर्ता रखते हैं,,,, जाहिर है यह गलती बी.ए मैथ वालों की ना होकर NCTE और सरकार की है ,,,, इसका एक ही न्यायसंगत निदान है,,,, एक और टेट हो जिसमें विज्ञान और कला वर्ग के टेट अलग-अलग समय पर हों जिससे कोई अभ्यर्थी दोनों ही वर्ग के टेट दे सके ,,,,,,मेरी जानकारी के अनुसार इसी केस में एक और समस्या भी आई है,,,, सरकार ने बी.बी.ए. बी.सीए. वालों के वर्ग का निर्धारण करने के लिए इंटर में उनके विषयों को आधार बनाया है,,यदि ऐसा है तो कला वर्ग के वो अभ्यर्थी जिन्होंने विज्ञान से इंटर किया है जूनियर में विज्ञान-गणित के शिक्षक बनने योग्य हो जाते हैं,,,,,,,,

UPTET 2014 : टीईटी अब होगी जनवरी 2014 में


UPTET 2014 : टीईटी अब होगी जनवरी 2014 में
परीक्षा नियामक प्राधिकारी ने भेजा प्रस्ताव, बीएड वाले होंगे उच्च प्राइमरी के लिए पात्र






लखनऊ। शिक्षक पात्रता परीक्षा (टीईटी) अब इस साल न कराकर जनवरी 2014 में कराने की योजना है। परीक्षा नियामक प्राधिकारी ने इसके लिए शासन को प्रस्ताव भेज दिया है। इसमें 10 से लेकर 14 जनवरी के बीच किसी भी दिन दो पालियों में परीक्षा कराने की बात कही गई है। बीटीसी, उर्दू बीटीसी और कोर्ट के आदेश पर प्रशिक्षित विशिष्ट बीटीसी वाले प्राइमरी और बीएड वाले उच्च प्राइमरी स्कूलों की टीईटी के लिए पात्र होंगे। शासन से मंजूरी मिलने के बाद आदेश जारी करते हुए आवेदन लेने की प्रक्रिया दिसंबर में शुरू करने की योजना है।
शिक्षा का अधिकार अधिनियम लागू होने के बाद कक्षा आठ तक के स्कूलों में शिक्षक बनने के लिए टीईटी अनिवार्य कर दिया गया है। इसके आधार पर राष्ट्रीय अध्यापक शिक्षा परिषद (एनसीटीई) ने वर्ष 2010 में अधिसूचना जारी करते हुए राज्यों से साल में दो बार टीईटी आयोजित कराने की व्यवस्था की है। उत्तर प्रदेश में अब तक केवल दो बार यानी नवंबर 2011 और जून 2013 में टीईटी आयोजित हुई है। वर्ष 2012 में टीईटी आयोजित नहीं की गई। इस बार साल में दो बार टीईटी कराने की तैयारी थी लेकिन देरी होने की वजह से यह तय किया गया है कि अब इसे जनवरी 2014 में कराया जाए। परीक्षा नियामक प्राधिकारी ने इसके आधार पर प्रस्ताव भेजा है। इसमें टीईटी जनवरी में कराए जाने की बात कही गई है। इस बार भाषा शिक्षकों के लिए अलग से परीक्षा कराने का प्रस्ताव नहीं है। वजह साफ है कि जून 2013 की परीक्षा में मोअल्लिम वालों को भी शामिल होना था, इसलिए भाषा शिक्षक के लिए टीईटी की अलग से व्यवस्था की गई थी।


बीएड की खाली 32,000 सीटों पर सीधे मिलेगा प्रवेश
कानपुर : प्रदेश में खाली चल रही बीएड की 32,000 सीटों पर अब सीधे प्रवेश लिया जा सकेगा। यह फैसला उच्चशिक्षा विभाग के प्रमुख सचिव नीरज गुप्ता ने सेल्फ फाइनेंस कॉलेज प्रबंधकों की मांग पर लिया है। नए आदेश के मुताबिक जिन कॉलेजों में बीएड की सीटें खाली है वो कॉलेज विज्ञापन जारी कर सीधे आवेदन मंगा सकते हैं। प्रवेश की पूरी प्रक्रिया 15 अक्टूबर तक संपन्न की जानी है। इस प्रक्रिया के तहत प्रदेश में कुल 32,000 सीटें भरी जाएंगी। प्रवेश केवल उन्हीं अभ्यर्थियों को दिया जाएगा जो बीएड की प्रवेश परीक्षा में सम्मिलित हुए थे। सेल्फ फाइनेंस कॉलेज एसोसिएशन के अध्यक्ष डॉ. विनय त्रिवेदी और महामंत्री डॉ. बृजेश भदौरिया ने बताया कि इस सिलसिले में काफी दिनों से बातचीत चल रही थी जिसे गुरुवार को मान लिया गया है

इलाहाबाद : जूनियर हाईस्कूल में गणित और विज्ञान के अध्यापकों की भर्ती के लिए आयु सीमा 40 वर्ष करने के मामले में हाईकोर्ट ने कहा कि बेसिक शिक्षा परिषद याचीगणों का आवेदन स्वीकार कर सकता है मगर उस पर अंतिम स्वीकृति राज्य सरकार के निर्णय पर निर्भर करेगी। कोर्ट ने परिषद और राज्य सरकार से इस मामले में चार सप्ताह में जवाब दाखिल करने को कहा है
शालिनी गंगवार और दिव्यप्रकाश मिश्र सहित अन्य तमाम अभ्यर्थियों की याचिकाओं पर सुनवाई करते हुए यह आदेश न्यायमूर्ति पीकेएस बघेल ने दिया। याचिका पर बहस करते हुए अधिवक्ता वेदमणि तिवारी ने कहा कि विज्ञान और गणित विषय के सहायक अध्यापकों की भर्ती के मामले में आयु सीमा में छूट न मिल पाने के कारण हजारों अभ्यर्थी आवेदन जमा करने से वंचित रह गए हैं
