Agitation over TET for in-service teachers intensified in Andhra. The unions are seeking relief for teachers appointed before TET became a mandatory qualification. They argue that imposing the requirement retrospectively is unfair to experienced teachers who entered service under the rules prevailing at the time of their appointment. The Andhra Pradesh United Teachers’ Federation (APUTF) on Thursday announced an indefinite hunger strike from September 4. Andhra teachers intensify protests over TET requirements, announcing an indefinite hunger strike and demanding changes to eligibility criteria.
