18 months D.El.Ed diploma not equivalent to two years diploma – Supreme Court
The Supreme Court in a landmark judgment on Tuesday said that the 18-month D.El.Ed diploma course of the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) is not equivalent to a 2-year diploma. The apex court said that all the facts show that the 18-month D.El.Ed diploma from NIOS is not recognized by the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) as a qualification for teacher recruitment. Due to this court decision, 18 months D.El.Ed diploma holders of NIOS will not be able to participate in the new teacher recruitment process.
The bench set aside the High Court decision which held that the 18-month D.El.Ed Diploma course from NIOS was equivalent to a 2-year diploma. The Supreme Court said that the High Court is wrong to say that both the diplomas are the same. No notification to this effect (18 months diploma course) has been issued by NCTE in lieu of notifications dated 23 August 2010 and 29 July 2011, which mandated a minimum 2-year diploma as the minimum qualification for appointment of teachers. Appreciating this remark, the Supreme Court quashed the decision.
