Government is committed to providing free and compulsory Elementary Education to every child in the age group of 6 to 14 years in the vicinity of his / her neighbourhood under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009. In the last three (3) years, Govt. has initiated various flag ship programs to improve the school education value chain and provide excellent facilities in Government Schools with an objective of improving learning outcomes of children studying in government schools to make them future global citizens.

Accordingly, the Government vide ref 11th & 13th read above has issued orders for re-apportionment of teaching staff by providing subject teachers for classes 3-5 which were mapped to the High School among various managements i.e., Government/Zilla Parishad/Mandal Praja Parishad Schools and required number of teachers. in Foundational Schools, Foundational School Plus. For ensuring the subject teachers in mapped High Schools (Classes 3 - 10), there is a need of additional subject teachers (7,928).

The Competent Authorities (i.e., Dy.EO/HM(Gr.II)) shall ensure that, all teachers who get transfer orders shall be relieved only after uploading of Summative Assessment (SA-I) Examinations marks in the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) Portal.

5. Government have decided to frame guidelines relating to the transfers in the exercise of the powers conferred by Section 78 and 99 of A.P. Education Act 1982 (Act 1 of 1982) and under Article 309 of the Constitution of India, in the super-session of all the earlier guidelines on the transfer of teachers in order to facilitate and to regulate the transfers of Headmasters (Gr-II) and teachers working in Government / Z.P.P /M.P.P Schools in A.P School Education Service and A.P School Education Subordinate Service.
