Summary:
Minority institutions, however, have been questioning the rationale behind making TET applicable to them.“TET was introduced in light of the RTE Act , 2009. Therefore, it makes no sense to bring minority schools under the purview of TET,” Khalif Saifuddin, one of the senior leaders of minority institutions, said.Another leader of the minority institutions, Quazi Ul Haq, said several court orders have come out in the past in favour of minority schools. “While only a single court order has gone against minority schools, several court orders in the past upheld our stand in the matter of TET. Under these orders, teachers appointed from February 13, 2013 must have qualified the TET. As per the Supreme Court judgment, minority schools are exempted from this legislation..
