The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Tuesday seeking a permanent exemption from the Teacher Eligibility Test for government teachers appointed before August 23, 2010. School Education Minister Rajmohan told the House that 3,28,701 teachers who have served for 15 to 20 years face losing promotions and even their jobs if they fail the test, following a Supreme Court order with an August 2028 deadline.
The resolution asks the Union government to amend Section 23 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, and issue guidelines through the National Council for Teacher Education. Parties including the DMK, AIADMK, CPI, CPI(M), and PMK supported the resolution, which was passed by voice vote.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All four sources report the same facts, the resolution, the minister's figures, and the legislative support, in near-identical language. This uniformity suggests wires or official copies were the shared base. The coverage is straight reporting with no discernible slant. What matters now is whether the Centre acts. The Union government must decide whether to amend Section 23 of the RTE Act or let the August 2028 Supreme Court deadline stand. That decision will test New Delhi's relationship with a state government that has made the teachers' case a bipartisan priority.
