Unrest in Bhopal as Teachers Invade Shahjahani Park

At the start of the day, more than 1 lakh guest teachers gathered at Shahjahani Park in Bhopal to demand formal regularisation of their service, citing years of teaching in government schools without permanent status or adequate job security.[1]

Mandatory TET Draws Widespread Opposition

Across the state, over 1 lakh serving teachers challenged the compulsory Teacher Eligibility Test, arguing that experienced educators should not be required to re‑qualify. Demonstrations were organised in Bhopal and spilled over into Delhi, where teachers demanded an exemption from the new test.[1]

Recruitment Friction: Varg‑2 and Varg‑3 Mocks

A surge of candidacy for Varg‑2 and Varg‑3 positions has triggered protests since the 21st of August. Around three thousand teachers claim that many teaching posts remain vacant while the recruitment process has not reflected the true demand for vacancies.[1]

Legal Uncertainty Holds Varg‑1 Aspirants Hostage

More than 500 candidates competing for Varg‑1 posts sit in limbo due to an ongoing court case. They are pressing for a swift resolution and for the recruitment process to be completed without further delay, maintaining that the main selection exam conducted in 2023 demanded qualification in two separate examinations.[1]

Selected Candidates Demand Clearance of Paperwork

Candidates who have recently secured vacancies have raised concerns about sluggish document verification and delayed appointment orders, urging the department to finalise the process promptly to avoid unnecessary hold‑ups.[1]
