To strengthen the academic monitoring and supervision and for effective implementation of the welfare programmes launched by the government in the school education sector, and also in view of the High Court orders, the government has issued orders asking certain headmasters of government schools to take full additional charge as Mandal Education Officer (MEO) in their respective areas.
The decision has not gone down well with the municipal teachers’ union, which alleges a raw deal to them.
“This decision has deprived municipal teachers of the 59 MEO posts in as many urban local bodies (ULBs). This is in gross violation of the Unified Service Rules,” said S. Ramakrishna, State president of the Municipal Teachers’ Federation (MTF).
