16,000 teacher posts to be filled soon: K Srihari

Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari on Tuesday said that the State government would fill 16,000 teacher posts in the near future. He paid rich tributes to Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan on the occasion of ‘Teachers Day’ at Ambedkar Bhavan in Hanmakonda.

Speaking on the occasion, Srihari accused the previous governments of neglecting the education sector. “If they had not ignored the education sector, we would have competed with other nations in terms of development”, he said. He also alleged that the previous rulers ruined the education sector by considering the funds spent as



investment instead of focusing on quality education and facilities.

“Now the TRS government is cleansing the mess of the education sector and spending huge funds for rolling out the best students. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao is for providing the best education with all facilities. With the great efforts of KCR in education sector, the number of students in government schools increased significantly as they shifted from private schools in three years. The government will offer best awards to Teachers from next year based on their merit and performance.
