They also wanted all of the TET qualified youths should be appointed together to meet the present teacher shortage crisis in the schools across the state.
There are around 3,631 candidates who have completed TET-I and TET-2 in 2021 and are now waiting for appointment.
There were indications that the department had already begun the file processing to recruit at first go 1200 teachers in two batches (600+ 600). The process would complete as soon as it got the green signal and go-ahead from the Finance department.
While talking to the media a member of the delegation that met the Education Minister said he had committed that all the TET qualified candidates would be recruited together once the proposal was approved by the Finance department. He also assured that the recruitment process would begin before ensuing Durga Puja.
It was then the TET passed job aspirants met Deputy Chief Minister, also Finance Minister Jishnu Dev Varma in his residence.
