Hyderabad: After nearly two decades of waiting, more than 18,942 government teachers in Telangana have finally received promotions. Among them, 17,072 secondary grade teachers (SGTs) have been promoted to school assistants, while 1,870 school assistants have been elevated to headmasters.
The teacher promotions and transfers process, which began on June 8, has now been completed, with the exception of SGT transfers. The Telangana government announced that teachers within three years of retirement would be exempt from mandatory transfers. Additionally, the posts of Pandit and Physical Education Teacher (PET) have been upgraded.
The School Education Department resumed the promotion process after it had been halted by previous court cases. The current administration, led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, decided to proceed with promotions irrespective of the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET). To avoid further complications during ongoing court cases, department officials swiftly completed the transfer and promotion process.
In light of the vacancies created by these promotions and transfers, the Telangana government has announced a call for the District Selection Committee (DSC) to fill the positions.
