On August 25, 2026, the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly passed a resolution urging exemption from the Teachers Eligibility Test for 328,701 teachers appointed before August 23, 2010. The resolution, moved by School Education Minister Rajmohan, calls for amendments to Section 23 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, and NCTE guidelines. It references a Supreme Court directive requiring TET clearance by August 31, 2028, for promotions.
