NIOS DELED Case: The Supreme Court is going to give judgment on an important case related to the appointment of primary teachers next Tuesday. The country's top court will rule on allowing DElEd (Diploma in Elementary Education) candidates from the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) to participate in the primary teacher recruitment process.
Next Tuesday, November 28, the Supreme Court is going to judge the 18-month course of NIOS. Although the case is from Uttarakhand, its implications are going to be felt across the country.
The Uttarakhand government had moved the Supreme Court against the High Court's decision to include DELED (Diploma in Elementary Education) candidates from the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) in the recruitment of 2648 posts of teachers. That case will be judged.
For the recruitment of Assistant Teachers in Government Primary Schools in Uttarakhand, Education Department invited applications for 2648 posts in 2020-21. D.El.Ed and B.Ed candidates from District Education and Training Institute as well as D.El.Ed from NIOS applied for it. The government initially included D.El.Ed candidates from NIOS in teacher recruitment, but later they were excluded.
Then the DELED candidates of NIOS went to the High Court against this order of the government. The High Court on February 10, 2022 canceled the government order and ordered to include teachers in the recruitment, but the government went to the Supreme Court against this order of the High Court.
