Central Teachers Eligibility Test : 94% Teachers flunk
CTET Results 2012
The next time teachers reprimand students about low marks or even failure, they would do better to give a second look at the results of the latest Central Teachers Eligibility Test ( CTET ).
Across the country, 94% teachers flunked the second edition of the CTET held on 29th January, 2012. The maiden CTET held last year saw 86% teachers failing and now the number has jumped by 10%.
This year, 10.58 lakh teachers had registered for the exam but only 9 lakh appeared.
A CBSE official said that only 55,422 teachers managed to score the minimum 60% required to pass the exam. The CTET was started by the government last year to ensure that the quality of teachers across the country is standardized.
Reena Dargan, Principal of Ira International School said, "My school was a centre for the CTET and one thing in teachers' defence is that they had solved 180 questions in 90 minutes which is tough. But the 1,400 candidates who came to my centre were really not up to the mark either.
The Central Teachers Eligibility Test ( CTET ), which was started last year by the government, is mandatory for any teacher who wants to join a government - aided CBSE school and it is expected that in the future the same rule might apply to private schools as well.
Even though this is just the second edition, the CTET has received good response from teachers with almost 30% increase in number of teachers appearing for the exam. In Nagpur, the response was tremendous with the number of teachers registering for exam rising 10 times.
An official document from the government regarding the CTET says the "implementation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education ( RTE ) Act, 2009 requires the recruitment of a large number of teachers across the country in a time - bound manner. So it is necessary to ensure that teachers possess the essential aptitude and ability to meet the challenges of teaching at the primary and upper primary level".
Reena Dargan, Principal of Ira International School said, At our school, candidates were not thorough with the exam rules and wasted 15 minutes just reading it. Others were just not serious about the paper as if they had nothing to lose."
Kana Roy Chaudhari, Principal of Centre Point School ( Katol Road ), said, "It is shocking to hear the numbers. I have not seen the question paper hence won't be able to comment on its difficulty."
