It’s about dignity, history, and a fight to respect those who’ve already served. The Assembly passed a unanimous resolution urging the Centre to amend the RTE Act, exempting teachers appointed before 2019. Why? Because many feel forced to prove themselves again; despite years of service and prior vetting. Education Minister Sakina Itoo says they’re fighting not just for law, but for respect. The resolution now heads to SC. If accepted, it could reset how ‘eligibility’ is viewed across India. For teachers, this isn’t paperwork; it’s personal.
