1500 Teachers’ Futures in Jeopardy as Mark Sheets Vanish
[City, State] – The futures of approximately 1500 teachers in [District Name] hang in the balance after mark sheets from four batches of the Basic Training Certificate (BTC) program mysteriously disappeared from the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) center. The missing documents are from the 1999, 2004, 2007 and 2008 batches of a specialist BTC program.
The disappearance comes at a critical time, as teachers have just five days remaining to apply for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET). Filling out the application requires information from the missing mark sheets.
“This matter has been brought to the attention of the government, but there is no expectation that mark sheets will be provided,” said concerned teachers.
The CTET is mandatory for all teachers in council schools, as mandated by the Supreme Court. Without a valid CTET score, these teachers face potential termination from the Basic Education Department, throwing their careers into uncertainty.
Online applications for the CTET are being accepted from November 27th to December 18th. The marks and total scores from the specialized BTC are required in the application form.
Initially, DIET Principal Brajendra Kumar claimed a police report had been filed at the Narkhi police station. However, police records showed this was untrue.
District Magistrate Ramesh Ranjan and the Secretary of the Examination Regulatory Authority have since summoned the DIET Principal. The Secretary also refused to provide the mark sheets.
