The Supreme Court has given big relief to primary teachers holding B.Ed degree. The apex court clearly said that the recruitments which were done before August 11, 2023, will not be affected by the decision of August 11, 2023. But the court also stipulated that there should be no order from any court regarding his disqualification. This order of the Supreme Court has come for the entire country. It is noteworthy that the Supreme Court, in its decision of August 11, 2023, said that only BTC (D.El.Ed.) diploma holders will be eligible to teach primary classes. B.Ed candidates will not be able to apply in Level-1 (1st to 5th class). The bench had also rejected the gazette notification of NCTE (National Council of Teacher Education) in which B.Ed degree holders were declared eligible for Level-1 teacher recruitment. In this notification of NCTE, it was said that if B.Ed degree holders pass Level-1, then they will have to do a bridge course of six months after appointment.
Decision came on the petition of MP government
According to a report in Dainik Jagran newspaper, the Supreme Court bench of Justice Aniruddha Bose and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia said during the hearing on Monday 8 April 2024 that if B.Ed qualification is included in the primary teacher recruitment advertisements issued by the Supreme Court before August 2023, If it had happened, their jobs would remain intact. The bench gave this order while disposing of the petition seeking clarification of the MP government's decision. Madhya Pradesh government and many affected candidates had filed a petition in the Supreme Court, requesting the Supreme Court to amend the order and provide clarification. A large number of B.Ed passed primary teachers have been affected by this decision.

B.Ed candidates out of Chhattisgarh primary teacher recruitment, appointments of selected candidates canceled
Chhattisgarh High Court, in an order given earlier this month, excluded the selected B.Ed degree holders from the primary teacher recruitment recruitment. The court ordered that the state government should remove the appointed B.Ed teachers from their jobs and complete the reinstatement process within 6 months, only those with D.El.Ed should be appointed in primary teacher recruitment on the basis of merit. This decision of the Division Bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Kumar Sinha came on the petition of D.El.Ed candidates in which they had challenged the selection of B.Ed candidates in primary teacher recruitment. Based on the August 2023 decision of the Supreme Court, the petitioners demanded that the B.Ed qualification be declared illegal and removed from primary teacher recruitment. On May 4, 2023, advertisement was issued for recruitment to about 6500 posts of assistant teachers in Chhattisgarh. The examination was held on 10th June. Both B.Ed and D.El.Ed candidates participated in it. After hearing the case, the High Court had banned the counseling of B.Ed candidates, which the candidates challenged in the Supreme Court. On this, the Supreme Court stayed the decision of the High Court and directed to give interim appointment to B.Ed teachers, but kept their appointment subject to the final decision of the case pending in the High Court.
