Contemplating extra relief for TET teachers: Tripura education minister

The education minister of Tripura has announced that the state government is planning to provide some extra relief for protesting TET teachers.

Ratan Lal Nath, the education minister of Tripura, announced relief for protesting teachers who have been hired via Teachers Eligibility Test (TET). The teachers have been protesting for a regular pay scale, which has not been possible due to the government's fixed pay policy which has not seen changes for the last 5 years.

It is to further be noted that the first batch of teachers who have qualified for TET have already completed their mandatory five-year fixed pay tenure, which makes them eligible to receive regular pay and perks.
