The Andhra Pradesh government’s decision to bring the municipal schools under the purview of the School Education Department has sent the teachers into a huddle.
The officials maintain that the move is aimed at ensuring holistic and comprehensive development of the civic schools on a par with the educational institutions run by the government and Zilla Parishad.
“Bringing the municipal schools under the School Education Department will ensure proper academic monitoring. The Department of Municipal Administration also wants complete takeover of these schools by the government,” says an official under the condition of anonymity.
