"Under-GraduateTeacher (UGT) recruitment process has been long pending due to some conditions of the Right to Education Act, 2009, especially teachers' Eligibility Test (TET). We have provided all the details as asked by the Ministry in the Education Ministers' meeting held at New Delhi on June 05. We are hopeful of positiveoutcome", said Sinha.
Sinha argued that conditions of the RTE, which was made operational in 2010 in the state, should not be made applicable on interviews conducted in 2002, 2006 and 2009.
"The state government is eager to deliver quality education as well. But a candidate may easily move the court of law if such conditions are imposed upon them", he added.
