MUMBAI: The results of the latest eligibility exam for teachers,
conducted by the CBSE, have raised concern about the candidates' abysmal
educational standard. From more than 6.6 lakh aspiring teachers, who
took the Central Teacher Eligibility Test on September 21, only 5.6%
could manage to qualify.
It is compulsory that any teacher, seeking job in government-funded CBSE schools, will have to clear CTET, which was introduced in 2011; even private schools prefer those who have cleared the test.
The exam comprises two papers: Paper I is meant for those intending to teach in classes I to V and Paper II for candidates looking to teach in classes VI to VIII. According to the CBSE data, only 11.95% of the 2.06 lakh candidates who appeared for Paper I could clear it. For over 4.59 lakh candidates taking Paper II, the pass percentage is just 2.8%.
Owing to the low pass percentage, schools have also been facing trouble getting recruits. "The test is very comprehensive and requires a lot of preparation, which many are not ready with. The fewer number of candidates qualifying the exam is leading to shortage of teachers in schools," said Jose Kurien, principal, DAV High School, Nerul.
The exam is conducted twice a year and BEd graduates can appear as many times as they want. Once qualified, the candidate is given a CTET certificate, which remains valid for seven years.
Ironically, this year's poor performance is better than the CTET results of February, when only 13,428 (1.79%) of the 7.50 lakh candidates qualified. The results for previous years have also been similar. Academicians blame the quality of teachers' education institutions in the country for the continued substandard performance by the candidates. "Most colleges offering teachers' education in the country are private institutions and the quality is not up to the mark. Moreover, many candidates enrol for the course but do not attend classes, as they are already employed somewhere else," said Arundhati Chavan, principal, Swayamsiddhi College of Education, Thane. "BEd students do not even know the basics and until existing malpractices are curbed, it is impossible to upgrade the quality.

Only one out of every eighteen aspirants who appeared for the
Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2014 cleared the exam, raising
questions over the quality of training given to teachers in the country.
Out of 6.6 lakh candidates appearing for the exam from across the country on September 21, only 37,472 cleared it. While 5.6% of aspirants cleared both papers in the CTET, only 11.9% cleared paper –I; 2.8% cleared paper-II. The papers tests teachers’ knowledge in the languages and the subjects they will be teaching.
The results in this test was just a tad better than the last exam conducted in January when only 2% students passed the exam. The CTET exam, conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), is mandatory for teachers who teach classes 1 to 8.
The dismal performance of teachers has raised concern among
experts. “It is shocking to see that a majority of teachers passing from
teacher training institutes cannot clear a basic eligibility test that
tests their knowledge,” said Basanti Roy, former divisional secretary of
the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary
Education.
Roy said that the reason for the bad results is the reluctance by teachers to update their knowledge. “Teachers maybe good in delivery but they lack content knowledge. As the syllabus is advancing, teachers too need to constantly be updated on their subject,” she added.
On the other hand, principals of CBSE schools said that teachers who do not teach languages failed in language papers, especially Hindi. All candidates have to mandatorily appear for Hindi and English papers and the minimum passing marks is 60%.
“If science teachers are made to answer language tests, obviously they will not perform well,” said Raj Alonee, principal of Ram Sheth Thakur Public School, Kharghar. “Those who have not studied Hindi after school or college find the test very difficult. Teachers from Mumbai are particularly facing this problem.”
Some principals also blamed those candidates who gave the test after a long break from their studies for the poor results. “Candidates who have cleared BEd or MEd five or six years back and giving the test now, have lost touch with their subjects and are unable to clear this theoretical exam,” said Avnita Bir, principal of RN Podar School, Santacruz.
