1 | A Brief Note | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There was a general perception among the public and the leading educationists and Hoteliers that, well qualified person were not being attracted towards teaching profession. Concerns were also expressed about the criteria that were employed for the selection of teachers. It was increasingly realized that quite a large number of people who neither had the competence nor the aptitude for teaching made an easy entry into this profession. The National Policy on Education, 1986, which was debated in the Parliament also, states that: “The method of recruitment of teachers will be reorganized to ensure merit, objectivity and conformity with spatial and functional requirements”. To overcome to the situation and to maintain the quality in hospitality education the scheme of National Hospitality Teachers eligibility Test (NHTET) has been drawn up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
