Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal challenging the validity of a notification by the National Council for Teacher Education, which prescribed minimum qualifications for teachers under the RTE Act, 2009. The Court examined whether the notification and the qualification criteria violated any constitutional or statutory provisions. The Court upheld the notification, affirming the authority of the NCTE to set such standards for teacher eligibility. The judgment reinforces the regulatory framework for teacher qualification standards under the RTE Act.
