AGARTALA, July 20 (TIWN): Not only 791 but the numbers of qualified TET passed, B.Ed holders are now 1141 who are roaming jobless. But in a strange connotation, Govt of Tripura has arranged special relaxation for B.Ed which has raised eyebrows. Tripura has over 5000 B.Ed holders whereas according to Education Minister Ratanlal Nath’s claim around 14000 teaching posts are vacant, but due to lack of eligible candidates Govt is unable to fill up the vacant posts but instead of appointing B.Ed holder TET passed teachers first Education Dept is hurrying for relaxation in B.Ed which is quite contradictory and against the interest of Quality Education when in reality there are B.Ed holders available in the state and more than thousands among them are TET qualified. TIWN has been informed that in the year 2018 , TRBT conducted two times TET exam. First one in the month of September , known as 2018 Session 1 TET exam and in that exam total 791 candidate qualified (TET 1-354 & TET 2-437).And the Second exam conducted in the month of December , know as 2018 Session 2 Tet exam and in that exam total 350 candidate are qualified ( TET 1 -128 & Tet 2- 222 ).

So , in present time in Tripura not 791 TET qualified teacher , but actual figure is 1141 (791+350) TET qualified teacher, who are not getting jobs,  though they have proper academic and professional qualifications and also pass Tet examination, said TIWN source.

“Govt is now busy to conduct the one time relaxation exam. TET qualified teachers and those who studying B.Ed & D.El.Ed  are undergoing tension as it’s uncertain what would be their future in the coming days. Their future are moving towards darkness and depression”, said the source.
