# MP teachers’ promotions linked to December TET exam 2026-10-23T17:11:32+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Madhya Pradesh’s directorate of public instruction will try to fix glitches in the Shikshak App before Diwali, commissioner Abhishek Singh told teacher union representatives on Friday, 23 October. The meeting addressed issues including leave records, half-day leave eligibility, and e-attendance login timings. Promotions for about 40,000 teachers have been stalled because of the compulsory Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) mandated by Supreme Court directives. Singh said the department plans to hold the TET in December and issue promotion orders by March 2027 for eligible teachers. Union leaders Upendra Kaushal and Rakesh Patel submitted a memorandum demanding regular promotions instead of mere charge of higher posts. They urged timely decisions on pending teacher issues. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The commissioner’s assurance ties two long-pending teacher grievances to a single deadline: the December TET. If the exam proceeds on schedule, 40,000 teachers could see promotions within four months, a move that would resolve a major bottleneck. However, the app and e-attendance fixes are promised before Diwali, which leaves barely a week for technical corrections. The department’s ability to deliver on both timelines will determine whether the relief materialises. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight factual reporting of meeting and announcements This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
