Panchayat teachers from Bihar government schools who went to the Supreme Court seeking exemption from a competency test introduced by the state government in 2023 - if they want to continue working - returned home empty-handed.
The Supreme Court in strong remarks criticised the teachers for even thinking they can skip the competency test, and upheld the state law.
"Is this the level of education in the country? A postgraduate who gets a job and cannot even write an application for leave? When a state like Bihar tries to improve this system and conducts a qualifying examination for this, it is opposed," Justice BV Nagarathna said on the petition filed by the non-profit Parivartankari Prarambhik Sikshak Sangh.
