The date available reveals that the highest number of ReTs have been engaged in north Kashmirs Baramulla. The number in the district is 4847.
Though earlier there have been reports suggesting the political interference in the appointment of the ReT teachers, the civil society has been asking for equal share in terms of the quality education in the state.

After five years of the initial service, the ReT teachers become permanent employees.. In the recent past, High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the government order giving benefit of five years service rendered by ReT teachers.
In a petition, the general line teachers had challenged the policy decision of state cabinet of 19 July 2014, and a subsequent government order that five years service rendered by Rehbar-E-Taleem teachers before regularization shall count for the purpose of fixing their seniority and counting such service, notionally, for pensioner and other retirement benefits, wherever applicable.
