.Patna,(BiharTimes): The Primary Teachers Entrance Test (PTET) for appointment of one lakh primary school teachers is likely to be held in the first week of November.

The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) had received 23 lakh applications from the aspirants for the post of primary teachers.
He said that the power of appointment of primary school teachers has been shifted totally from the state government to the three-tier Panchayati Raj system and the urban local bodies through amendments in the Constitution. Such Constitutional Amendments made by Parliament were binding on the government hence it is helpless in resolving the complaints regarding any alleged irregularity in the appointment of primary teachers for which only the panchayats bodies and urban local bodies concerned were responsible and accountable.
However, the minister denied that there were large-scale irregularities in appointments of 1.25 lakh primary school teachers made a few years back. Complaints received regarding irregularities in appointment of primary teachers were less than 10 per cent of the total posts of primary teachers who were appointed by the Panchayati Raj bodies.
He also said that the state government is awaiting a Supreme Court judgement regarding the appointments of librarians. About 2,500 posts of librarians are vacant in secondary and senior secondary schools of the state.
He once again held the Governor responsible for not responding to the Bills related to improvement in the educational system. These Bills were passed by the state legislature last March.
