Now if you are dreaming of becoming a teacher from 9th to 12th grade, then get ready to work a little more. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to make a big change. Now to teach from 9th to 12th grade, the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) exam will have to be given. For this, CBSE is going to release a new guideline soon. Know about this new rule in detail.
What is CTET and what was its scope?
CTET is an examination of National Level, which is conducted by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) and CBSE. This examination is for those who want to become teachers in schools related to Central Schools like Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kendriya Vidyalaya or CBSE. Till now CTET was held at two levels.
- Paper 1: This is for those candidates who want to teach from class 1 to 5.
- Paper 2: This is for candidates wishing to teach from class 6 to 8.
Candidates can give both papers according to their will, but now this scope is being increased. Under the new rule, it will be mandatory to pass CTET to become a teacher from 9th to 12th grade.
What does the new rule say?
CBSE and NCTE are working on this new rule together. After this, now the CTET exam is likely to be held at four levels. These four levels will be like this.
- Class 1 to 5 (Paper 1)
- Class 6 to 8 (Paper 2)
- Class 9 to 12 (new paper)
- Bal Vatika (for Elementary Education)
This means that now CTET will have to take the examination to become a high school teacher. This rule will be applicable to all schools affiliated to CBSE. Apart from this, a separate examination can also be started for Bal Vatika (Elementary Education).
When will the new rule apply?
According to reports, CBSE will soon release a new guideline. If the guideline is issued on time, then this rule can apply from this year or next year. Due to some internal exams of the board, it is getting a little delay. If everything goes well, CTET can be held at three or four levels in 2025.
What was the qualification to become a 9th-12th teacher till now?
Till now, the candidate needed a degree of B.Ed (Bachelor of Education) and post graduation to teach from 9th to 12th grade. In some schools, it was not mandatory to pass CTET, but it depended on their will, but it is already necessary to pass CTET in schools associated with CBSE. After the new rule, now CTET will be compulsory for the teacher of 9th to 12th in all CBSE schools.
