                Campaign to include sanskrit as a recognized language for teachers

 

Dear All in India

 

 

 

Please write letters to the following people immediately in order to get a place for Sanskrit in CTET-2011. an examination required to pass by Indian teachers.

 

 

 

The issue is – According to Right to Education Act (RTE), the passing of Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) is mandatory to become a teacher and it is notified by National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE).

 

Accordingly Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is conducting Central Teacher Eligibility Test - 2011 (CTET-2011) as directed by MHRD. The last date for Application is 15th May 2011 and the Test will be on 26th June 2011. Every candidate is supposed to take 2 language papers in the test. In the list of languages there are 19 languages, but without Sanskrit. Details are available in the home page of CBSE.  http://www.cbseguess.com/

 

A writ has been filed in the Delhi High Court. But the hearing is on 31st of May only and hence again an Appeal has been filed in the same court. In the meanwhile, it is suggested that people of importance should write(through both fax and email) to the concerned officials requesting to 1) include Sanskrit as one of the options as a language 2) extend the last date for applying in the case of Sanskrit candidates. You may kindly give your arguments in this regard.
