&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A year after the Right of all Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act came into effect, four states &amp;mdash; Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Manipur &amp;mdash; have applied for relaxation of teacher qualification norms, citing lack of teacher training institutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal have already secured relaxation under Section 23 (a) of the RTE Act, which enables them to employ those without the professional qualifications &amp;mdash; a diploma in education or a BEd &amp;mdash; as teachers with a rider that they would acquire the qualifications within five years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We calculate on the basis of data in terms of demand and supply that the states seeking such relaxation submit to us. Then, we decide,&amp;rdquo; an HRD ministry official said. &amp;ldquo;Teacher training institutes are not there. But we have told the states that preference should be given to those that have the qualifications when they advertise for teaching posts. There is a rationale for teaching. Teachers need skills in pedagogic methods, so we devised this minimum qualifications requirement.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Human Resource Development Ministry is also working on a scheme to provide additional funds to deficit states like Assam and Bihar to help them open more teacher training institutes so that they can comply with the RTE mandate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teacher qualifications under the RTE have emerged as one of the main concern areas for states struggling to recruit teachers. Some states like Rajasthan have more teachers than they require but those can&amp;rsquo;t be forcefully deployed to deficit states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of now, there are around 57 lakh sanctioned teaching posts in the government sector. Out of these, at least 7 lakh posts are vacant. The government will also need to appoint an additional 5.1 lakh teachers to fulfil the teacher pupil ratio under the RTE.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because the minimum qualification for teachers in primary and upper primary levels has been standardised across the country under the RTE, lakhs of teachers currently employed in the system are set to be deemed &amp;ldquo;untrained&amp;rdquo;. According to HRD Ministry sources, the number of untrained teachers in the country stands at 7.72 lakh &amp;mdash; around 5.48 lakh at primary and 2.25 lakh at upper primary level.

A year after the Right of all Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act came into effect, four states &amp;mdash; Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Manipur &amp;mdash; have applied for relaxation of teacher qualification norms, citing lack of teacher training institutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal have already secured relaxation under Section 23 (a) of the RTE Act, which enables them to employ those without the professional qualifications &amp;mdash; a diploma in education or a BEd &amp;mdash; as teachers with a rider that they would acquire the qualifications within five years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We calculate on the basis of data in terms of demand and supply that the states seeking such relaxation submit to us.

A year after the Right of all Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act came into effect, four states &amp;mdash; Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Manipur &amp;mdash; have applied for relaxation of teacher qualification norms, citing lack of teacher training institutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal have already secured relaxation under Section 23 (a) of the RTE Act, which enables them to employ those without the professional qualifications &amp;mdash; a diploma in education or a BEd &amp;mdash; as teachers with a rider that they would acquire the qualifications within five years.&lt;br /&gt;

4 states urge HRD to relax teacher qualification norms under RTE by Chinki Sinha

A year after the Right of all Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act came into effect, four states — Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam and Manipur — have applied for relaxation of teacher qualification norms, citing lack of teacher training institutes. Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal have already secured relaxation under Section 23 (a) of the RTE Act, which enables them to employ those without the professional qualifications — a diploma in education or a BEd — as teachers with a rider that they would acquire the qualifications within five years. “We calculate on the basis of data in terms of demand and supply that the states seeking such relaxation submit to us. Then, we decide,” an HRD ministry official said. “Teacher training institutes are not there. But we have told the states that preference should be given to those that have the qualifications when they advertise for teaching posts. There is a rationale for teaching. Teachers need skills in pedagogic methods, so we devised this minimum qualifications requirement.” The Human Resource Development Ministry is also working on a scheme to provide additional funds to deficit states like Assam and Bihar to help them open more teacher training institutes so that they can comply with the RTE mandate. Teacher qualifications under the RTE have emerged as one of the main concern areas for states struggling to recruit teachers. Some states like Rajasthan have more teachers than they require but those can’t be forcefully deployed to deficit states. As of now, there are around 57 lakh sanctioned teaching posts in the government sector. Out of these, at least 7 lakh posts are vacant. The government will also need to appoint an additional 5.1 lakh teachers to fulfil the teacher pupil ratio under the RTE. Because the minimum qualification for teachers in primary and upper primary levels has been standardised across the country under the RTE, lakhs of teachers currently employed in the system are set to be deemed “untrained”. According to HRD Ministry sources, the number of untrained teachers in the country stands at 7.72 lakh — around 5.48 lakh at primary and 2.25 lakh at upper primary level.
