Govt schools in hopeless state: Teachers body

Hyderabad: Telangana SC, ST Upadhyaya Sangham (TSCSTUS) State president Banot Kishan Naik here on Thursday lamented that the government schools in the State were in a pathetic condition due to the negligence by the successive governments. Speaking to media persons here, Kishan Naik said the government schools had turned to be exclusive schools for SC, ST, BC and Minority students.

As only the children of these poorer sections were studying in the government schools, the successive governments had been neglecting them mercilessly, he said and added that education in government schools had become hopeless due to the absence of regular Mandal Education Officers and Deputy Education Officers.

The TSCSTUS leader urged the State government to take immediate measures to improve primary education and introduce LKG, UKG in English medium and post one teacher for one class. He also urged the government to help the SC, ST employees to pursue higher studies in accordance with the GOMS 342 and solve the problems of CRP and part-time sweepers working in the government schools.

The other demands of TSCSTUS include release of GO for the benefit of teachers working in the Agency areas, release of orders treating DSC 2002 untrained teachers’ appointment on March 3, 2003, two notional increments of Rs 398 to special teachers, appointment of DSC regular teachers in KGBV schools and so on.
