Bhopal teachers extend TET protest into fourth day as Ujjain division joins

The sit‑in protest against the mandatory Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) in Bhopal entered its fourth day on Wednesday, with teachers gathering outside the state education department building. Demonstrators have refused to fill out the new TET registration forms, citing concerns over the test's relevance and implementation.
On the same day, a contingent of teachers from the Ujjain division arrived at the protest site, bolstering the numbers and reaffirming solidarity with the Bhopal demonstrators. The newcomers reiterated their opposition to the compulsory TET and called for the state government to adopt a TET‑free framework.
The protesters referenced recent policy shifts in Tamil Nadu and Jammu & Kashmir, where state governments have moved to eliminate the TET requirement for school teachers. They urged Madhya Pradesh to follow suit, demanding that the state pass a resolution freeing teachers from the test. No official response from the state authorities has been reported yet.
