Proceeding No: 305 has been issued by the Commissioner & Director of School Education, A.P., Hyderabad. Proceeding No.305 for instruction to Curriculum Implementation in Primary Schools and primary section of upper primary schools. Proceeding details as belo
All the Regional Joint Director of School Education (RJD SEs) and District Educational Officers in the Andhra Pradesh State are here by informed that at present the system of class wise responsibility to the teachers ( Teacher teaching all the subjects for the class allotted ) is being implemented in the primary schools and primary sections of upper primary schools in the state
During training programmes and School Complex Meetings teachers suggested to do away with the existing system of teacher distribution that is class wise responsibility and introduce subject wise distribution of teachers at primary level. Following are some of the problems/ issues experienced by teachers while implementing the system of class wise responsibility.
Some of the problems/ issues experienced by teachers
Students are exposed to a single teacher roughout the day. If the teacher is absent due to CL / other kinds of leaves there will be no classes for that particular class. Teachers naturally are interested to teach particular subjects based on their expertise, qualifications and may not be equally competent to teach all the subjects effectively. Change of teachers from period to period brings n new ways of dealing with the classes/children depending upon the teacher.
Continuity in terms of children progress subject wise need to be focused during the primary stage. Teacher absenteeism/teachers on leave /
teachers on duty affect a class completely as there will be no teacher to
teach any subject.
In view of the above, the existing system of teacher distribution class wise was reviewed keeping in view of suggestions from teachers and it is proposed to provide subject responsibilities to the teacher instead of entire class responsibility. Following is the rationale for the subject wise distribution of teachers at the Primary Level.
Subject wise distributio of teachers at Primary Level
The teacher selects based on his / her interest and expertise. Capacity building of teacher with a focus on one or two subjects, so that he can teach the same subjects effectively for all class. Training can be focused on one or two subjects for more number of days for their capacity building instead of focusing on all subjects in a limited period. Teachers can plan and take up remedial teaching to improve the basic competencies in their subjects
Therefore, it is proposed for adapting subject-specific responsibilities to the teachers and the nature of the distribution of subjects in a multi grades situation is suggested hereunder
Work distribution Table
| Sl.No | No. of Teachers | Subject Distribution |
| 1 | Single Teacher Schools | All subjects all classes |
| 2 | Two Teacher Schools | T1 – 2 subjects – Telugu and English for classes I to V T2 – 2 subjects – Maths and EVS for classes I to V |
| 3 | Three Teacher Schools | T1 – 1 & 2 classes T2 – 2 subjects – Telugu and English for classes III to V T3 – 2 subjects – Maths and EVS for classes III to V Or T1 – Language Telugu for I to V T2 – Maths for classes I to V T3 – English and EVS for classes I to V |
| 4 | Four Teacher Schools | T1 – 1 & 2 classes T2 – Language Telugu for 3,4,5 classes T2 – Maths for 3,4,5 classes T3 – English and EVS for all classes Or Each teacher should take one subject for all classes i.e class I to V |
| 5 | Five Teachers schools | T1 – class I T2 – class II T3 – Language Telugu for 3,4,5 classes T4 – Maths for 3,4,5 classes T5 – English and EVS for 3,4,5 classes Or T1 – class I and II T2 – Language Telugu for 3,4,5 classes T3 – Maths for 3,4,5 classes T4 – English for all 3,4,5 classes T5 –EVS for all 3,4,5 classes |
Therefore, all the DEOs in the state are here by informed to issue the instructions as above to all the Head Masters of primary schools and upper primary schools in the districts to implement the subject specific teacher responsibility in all primary schools and primary schools of upper primary schools in the districts while preparing the timetables. The RJD SEs in the state are also requested to monitor this change for effective implementation of curriculum and textbooks.
