Problems in teacher recruitment

Teachers can get appointment in government schools through a cumbersome route..

Government schools: Graduation ---> B.Ed---> TET ----> PSC test
(appointment occurs once in a decade or two..large interval between PSC tests)

Aided schools: Graduation ---> B.Ed---> TET ----> interview
(donation, influence, caste/community factors taken into account)


Unaided Schools: Graduation ---> B.Ed---> TET (?!!) ----> Interview
(very poor salary and service conditions)

The pre-service training, that is, B.Ed course is not just sufficient to become teacher. One has to pass teacher eligibility test.

The TET may impact B.Ed course. Teacher trainees may be busy preparing for TET while doing B.Ed. It is likely that the B.Ed colleges turn into TET coaching centers.
