The Story in Brief
The Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) in Visakhapatnam district on Monday recorded a 91.28% turnout, with 1,205 of 1,320 enrolled candidates appearing, the District Educational Officer’s office said. District Educational Officer N. Prema Kumar inspected two exam centres. Three flying squads were deployed to oversee the test across five locations. The forenoon session at a single centre had 135 of 140 candidates present. The afternoon session across five centres saw 1,070 of 1,180 candidates present, with 110 absent.
The Indian Opinion
The high attendance is a positive sign, but the numbers also reveal a modest enrolment, only 1,320 candidates for a large district. This raises the question of whether enough people are opting for teaching as a career. The greater test lies ahead: will the successful candidates actually fill vacancies and improve learning outcomes? The state must track deployment rates and student performance to assess the exam’s real impact.
