Several teachers organisations on Tuesday asked the State government to withdraw GO No. 117 immediately saying that it would adversely impact the education system.
A few days ago, the government issued orders introducing many reforms in the education system. According to the new orders, posts of headmasters and physical education teachers will be abolished if there is no adequate student strength in the schools. The teachers will have to take up to 48 classes in a week. There will be no Telugu medium till Class VIII. Teachers’ unions in Vizianagaram, Srikakulam and Parvatipuram districts are vehemently opposing this order.
Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation (Registered No.1938) Vizianagaram unit president D. Eswara Rao said that the government’s proposal would lead to many complications. “The teachers will have to take classes continuously without any break. There is no chance for preparation and rest. Many posts of headmasters, physical education teachers and others will be reduced with the new order,” he added.
