High Court Protects BEd Faculty Jobs, Grants Two Years
Several teachers work in BEd colleges connected to Adi Kavi Nannaya University.
The Andhra Pradesh government did not approve some of their appointments because they had not passed NET or APSET.
The teachers asked the High Court for help.
The court said removing them suddenly could harm their livelihoods.
It told the university to certify the teachers’ appointments.
The court also allowed the teachers to keep working for now.
They must pass NET or APSET within two years.
This gives them time to meet the required qualification while keeping their jobs protected.
The High Court directed Adi Kavi Nannaya University to certify appointments of faculty working in affiliated BEd colleges.
The Andhra Pradesh government had refused to authorize several appointments because the teachers had not cleared NET or APSET.
The teachers challenged the decision in the High Court, saying they had been working for many years.
Justice Mutukumalli Sri Vijaya said sudden removal could affect the teachers’ livelihoods.
The court protected their employment but directed them to clear NET or APSET within two years.
