The Supreme Court<\/strong> has ruled that teachers must pass the Teacher Eligibility Test (<\/strong>TET)<\/strong> to get or keep teaching jobs and promotions. This rule applies nationwide, but teachers with less than five years left before retirement don\u2019t need to take TET; they are just not eligible for promotion. Teachers with more than five years left must clear the TET within two years, or they may be asked to resign or retire early. Minority schools are currently exempt from this rule until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supreme Court TET Decision Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court decided that teachers must now pass the TET to be eligible for teaching jobs and promotions. Teachers already working who have over five years before retirement must pass TET within two years; if not, they must leave the job or accept early retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers with five years or less left before retirement do not have to clear TET, although they can\u2019t get promoted unless they do. Minority schools are not required to enforce TET until a future decision, as the matter is still under review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
