Government urged to reintroduce Telugu medium to protect interest of students and teachers
Human Rights Forum (HRF) Viziangaram district convener and retired headmaster Bankuru Joginaidu on Sunday urged the government to reintroduce Telugu medium in all schools to protect the interests of the students hailing from rural areas as they cannot understand lessons taught in English in the initial stages.
He said that it would also benefit over 3,800 school assistants to get promotions as headmasters and protect their interests in accordance with the service rules and regulations. In a press release, he said that the government's recent decision to shift 3,800 school assistants as headmasters of model primary school while changing the existing rules could have helped them to get promotions as headmasters in their respective primary schools.
'The so called rationalisation and shifting of school assistants to model high schools would weaken primary schools in the near future. The primary schools will not have sufficient number of teachers and the dropout of students would also be high. Hence, we request the government to introduce Telugu medium so that the students would have another medium as an option and it would help retain school assistants in the same educational institutions. There is no need to shift them to model schools while disturbing their service rules,' said Mr. Joginaidu.
