Andhra Pradesh Sanctions 2,260 Special Education Teacher Posts to Boost Inclusive Learning

Leave a Comment / / Education Community

In a landmark step towards strengthening inclusive education, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has sanctioned 2,260 new posts exclusively for special education teachers. This move is aimed at providing enhanced academic support to students with disabilities, particularly those with autism and mental challenges. According to the latest government order, 1,136 Special Grade Teacher (SGT) posts will be allocated at the primary level, while 1,124 School Assistant positions are sanctioned for secondary schools. These teachers will receive specialized training to address the unique learning requirements of children with special needs, fostering a more adaptive and inclusive educational environment. The District Selection Committee (DSC) is expected to release a recruitment notification soon. The selection process will assess candidates based on their qualifications, experience, and knowledge in special education, ensuring only well-equipped and empathetic educators take on these vital roles. Special education teachers are critical in tailoring instruction, modifying teaching methods, and supporting both the academic and social growth of students with disabilities. Their presence in classrooms is fundamental to nurturing an inclusive and empowering educational ecosystem. Welcoming the decision, the Andhra Pradesh Unemployed Special Teachers Federation (APUSTF) noted that this was a long-pending demand. The state had not recruited special educators in nearly seven years, and the federation had been advocating for their appointment for the past two years. APUSTF President M Venkata Naidu highlighted that the state has around 1.12 lakh children with special needs, and nearly 15,000 trained special educators have been awaiting the DSC notification. The new recruitment drive marks a hopeful turning point for inclusive education in Andhra Pradesh. Source: TOI

Uma Kannan Founder Principal, Sri Venkateswara Group of Schools, Ambattur expressed how pedagogies and new strategies can upskill and reskill the students

1 Comment / / Interviews

“The New Normal refers to machine learning, artificial intelligence, and a technologically driven society” said Uma Kannan Could you please highlight some of the initiatives of your institution and give us more light on what your institution is doing? In each and every institution, we take up the growth of the student to bring out the awesome holistic children within the students and through the teachers. The pedagogies, introduction of new strategies to upskill and reskill the students’ energy as well as the faculty’s energy, are crucial. Only then can they produce very good social beings to develop the nation. We are doing a lot of service through seminars and conferences. Would you like to throw some light on the education policy and any initiatives your institution is doing in this regard? Recently, in 2020, the central government adopted a new educational policy and framework. One aspect of that is the 21st-century learning skills, another is the sustainable developmental goals, and the third is design thinking. We incorporate all these with the teachers through some orientation programs to upskill their energy, and then we transform that into the classroom. Any takeaways from today’s forum? Definitely. I learned how to parent the child. Parenting is very necessary with all biological modulations. We need to transparently open up the biological changes to the students. Kudos to Manjula and Chandan for bringing in this transparency. Teachers are the second parents, and we need to instruct the parents to be the first educators, giving all this transparently to the children to bring in a good social being. What does the phrase “New Normal” mean to you? The New Normal refers to machine learning, artificial intelligence, and a technologically driven society. We need to incorporate this into the educational curriculum. However, we should not forget the traditional way of teaching, as it provides an aesthetic approach and emotional well-being for the child and the adult. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group? ArdorComm, you are keeping the summits in very reputed cities like Delhi, which are educational hubs. I want this to extend to all corners of the country, even the villages. Your service should be extended to smaller cities and towns. Thank you. It was a pleasure having you at this forum. Thank you so much. Thank you, Chandan. All the best.

Uttar Pradesh Government Issues Guidelines for Education Service Selection Commission

Leave a Comment / / Education Community

The recruitment process for teachers and instructors in the state, the Uttar Pradesh government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has issued a comprehensive notification outlining the rules for the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC). According to an official release, the guidelines stipulate that candidates invited for interviews, following the written examination, must be awarded a minimum of 40% marks. However, the maximum marks permissible for the interview stage are capped at 90%. The UPESSC will oversee the recruitment of instructors in basic, secondary, and higher education, as well as vocational education, and teachers in aided minority colleges across the state. The Examination Committee will determine the number of candidates to be interviewed in a day and the overall number of boards to be conducted daily, based on the needs of the recruitment process. Moreover, the number of candidates called for interviews will range from 3 to 5 times the number of vacancies, as deemed appropriate by the Commission. For positions requiring interviews, a merit list will be released by combining the marks obtained in the written examination and the interview. In cases where only a written exam is conducted, a merit list will be prepared based on the written exam marks alone. In instances where candidates have equal merits, preference will be given to the marks obtained in the written exam, followed by interview scores. If parity persists, eligibility percentages such as JRF, NET, PhD, and postgraduate scores will be considered. Additionally, in the event of identical scores across all criteria, priority will be given to the candidate with higher age. The release also outlines a meticulous process for candidate replacements, should the initially selected candidate be unable to assume the post. The selected candidate, upon explaining the reasons for non-acceptance, will submit their application to the Director, who will then recommend an adjustment to the Commission. The Commission will subsequently hold the institution or appointing authority accountable for any discrepancies in the requisition process. This move by the Uttar Pradesh government is anticipated to bring transparency and efficiency to the teacher and instructor recruitment process, ensuring that the most qualified and suitable candidates are selected for these crucial roles in the education sector.
