https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=463183 Rule 18(1) requires a Head Teacher to satisfy both teaching experience and the prescribed departmental tests, and the test qualification is mandatory even for teachers above 50 years of age. The proviso does not authorise promotion or appointment of an unqualified teacher; it only grants teachers already in service up to three years to acquire the qualification and then seek promotion. Any earlier exemption inconsistent with the Rule cannot override this requirement, and junior qualified teachers may be reverted if necessary to give effect to the qualification rule. en-us Mon, 27 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Aug 2025 06:44:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=463183 Rule 18(1) requires a Head Teacher to satisfy both teaching experience and the prescribed departmental tests, and the test qualification is mandatory even for teachers above 50 years of age.
