KOLKATA: The Calcutta High Court will hear a crucial petition on primary teachers’ recruitment in state-run schools in West Bengal on Thursday.
Recently, the state government has issued a notification for 13, 429 primary teachers in state-run schools. A group of candidates, who were disqualified in the teachers’ eligibility test (TET) for similar primary teachers’ recruitment in 2017 and 2022, have approached the Calcutta High Court for permission to appear for the examinations, and the first hearing in the matter will be on October 9.
The petitioners have claimed that a case was filed in the Calcutta High Court regarding the complications of accurate answers to a total of 47 questions in the TET exams of 2017 and 2022. That case is still pending with the Calcutta High Court, which has appointed a committee of experts to give its opinion in the matter.
