Hyderabad: The Chief Minister, K.Chandrashekhar Rao on Thursday directed the officials to frame fresh guidelines for appointment of teachers in residential educational institutions societies.

Mr. Rao wanted the mandatory restriction on minimum qualifying marks of 60 per cent to be removed and as per National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) guidelines, candidates with 50 per cent marks in degree examination be allowed to apply for the posts. This step would ensure that more number of unemployed youth get an opportunity to appear for the examination, he observed.

The Chief Minister also instructed doing away with minimum three year teaching experience and candidates having degree, B.Ed and TET qualification be

given an opportunity.

Mr. Rao also reviewed the request for conducting the examination in Telugu in the backdrop of NCTE guidelines and court verdicts and said the earlier directions of Supreme Court spelled out that examination be conducted in a language in which the teaching is to be done. Given this, the possibility of conducting examination in Telugu was not there and hence, he requested the candidates to prepare and write in English only.

The Chief Minister’s intervention came in the backdrop of apprehensions from students community that not many had eligibility to take the recruitment test announced two days ago for filling up of 7306 posts of teachers in residential institutions.
