Kandukur Government School Panel rejects Teachers, appoints Private Tutors

 Kandukur: The School Management Committee of the Mandal Parishad Primary School in Venkatadripalem village on the Kandukur suburbs demanded the education department to appoint teachers as per the student strength and rejected the two teachers working in the school on Wednesday, for their poor performance.

They wrote a letter to the government and appointed two private tutors to help the students with the syllabus in the mean time.

K Srinivasulu, school management committee chairman said that there were just 9 students in the school in 2015-16 academic year. 

But after forming the school development committee, they collected funds from various natives of the village settled abroad and provided infrastructure to the school with Rs 10 lakh. 

They encouraged the villagers to send their children to the government school and successfully increased the pupils number above 100. 

They submitted representations to the education department and received promises from officials and ZP chairman Edara Haribabu to appoint two more teachers to the existing two teachers to maintain a good pupil-teacher ratio.

As the department failed to keep its promise at least by sending the teachers on deputation, the school management committee passed a resolution to surrender the existing two teachers branding them non-performing duo. 

They demanded that the government appoint four teachers afresh to the school and help the children study in the government school. 

In the meantime, they made arrangements to the children to not miss the syllabus by appointing two private teachers and announced they will recruit two more teachers if the government didn’t respond to their request.

However, the mandal educational officer Rambabu reached the school and held a meeting with the school management committee on Wednesday evening and assured them that the teachers will be appointed very soon.
