While TET-I qualified candidates are eligible for teachers’ jobs from classes I to V, TET–II qualifiers can teach from classes 6 to 8.
“This year, the pass percentage in TET-I and II is very low. I have asked the authorities why the success rate was so low. A number of reasons came to my notice. If we aren’t able to produce quality teachers, how will teachers impart quality education in government-run schools? We will explore solutions”, he told the reporters.
Responding to protests by TET aspirants over alleged discrepancies in some answer keys, Saha, who also holds the Education portfolio, said he had taken up the issue with the board.
“The board claimed there were no irregularities or errors in the answers. If job aspirants want, they can move court”, he said.
