Teachers lagging in syllabus completion due to administrative work

Telangana government has intensified surprise inspections of schools across the State and the reports indicate that some teachers were lagging in syllabus completion, partly due to excessive involvement in administrative paper work.

The move comes amid concerns over falling enrolment in government schools compared to private institutions. While nearly 26 lakh students are enrolled in about 30,000 government schools, as many as 33 lakh students study in just 10,000 private schools across the State. The initiative, aimed at curbing teaching and learning lapses, has already covered over 4,600 government schools. The inspection teams have been directed not only to identify deficiencies but also to conduct follow-up visits to ensure corrective measures are implemented.
