Fill Left-over Teacher Posts Through Promotions: MLC Alugubelli Narsi Reddy

Nalgonda: Teachers’ MLC Alugubelli Narsi Reddy on Sunday urged the state government to fill left-over teacher posts with eligible teachers by continuing the promotion process which was taken up in this academic year.

Speaking at a meeting of United Teachers’ Federation (UTF) here, he thanked the state government for completing promotions of teachers much before the commencement of the academic year.

Thousands of teacher posts fell vacant after promotions in the education department. In the promotions process, some of secondary grade teachers (SGTs) became eligible for school assistant posts in two or three subjects which has created non-joining posts in the department, he added.

He suggested the state government fill up non-joining posts with eligible teachers in the current promotions process that will avoid the shortage of teachers in the government-run schools.

He also urged the government to immediately appoint scavengers and service persons in all the government schools. He wanted the state government to waive the dues of electricity bills of schools, which were being run by local authorities.

The state government should provide zero electric bills facility to all government schools in the state. He demanded basic pay for CRTs (culturally responsive teachers) of Kasturba Schools. UTF district president Edla Saidulu, secretary Perumalla Venkatesham, vice presidents Bukka Srinivasa Chary, Ch Aruna and others attended the meeting.
