Teachers in Madhya Pradesh are planning to protest in Delhi on August 31, opposing the mandatory Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) examination fee of ₹1,000. The protest will be held at Jantar Mantar, with teacher organizations appealing to affected teachers to join the demonstration. The TET exam fee has sparked discontent, with the Employee State Insurance Board (ESB) setting the application window from August 21 to September 9.
Candidates must also pay additional charges for filling the form online or at kiosks. Teachers intend to refuse filling the form until their demands are met. They plan to meet Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and School Education Minister Uday Pratap Singh by August 26 to request a waiver of the examination fee. The organization is urging the department to publish a list of teachers required to take the TET, rather than mandating online registration for all.
The department already possesses the service and academic records of serving teachers, enabling the identification of those already qualified for the TET. The teachers are also advocating for an offline examination, citing connectivity issues, inadequate technical infrastructure, and server-related problems in rural and remote areas.
Traders Block Roads in Bhopal have seen protests due to notices issued by the Bhopal Municipal Corporation; however, the police have prevented the march from reaching the Chief Minister's residence.
