G.O. Ms. No. 1800 Dated, the 22nd Dec., 1971

Order :

In view of the change over of the medium of instruction to Telugu at all levels of Education upto graduate level, it is found necessary that the teaching staff should possess adequate knowledge of the regional language to impart instruction in that language. The Government have therefore decided that proficiency in regional language shall be made a prerequisite qualification for future recruitment to the following posts in Andhra Pradesh Educational Service and Andhra Pradesh Educational Subordinate Service.

1. Gazetted Headmasters and Gazetted Inspectors of Schools

2. Principals of Government Colleges

3. Lecturers in Government Colleges in subjects other than languages

4. Assistant Lecturers, Tutors in subjects other than languages and Demonstrators

5. School Assistants, Deputy Inspectors of schools and Headmasters of Grade I and Grade II Junior Lecturers and Principals of Junior Colleges.

Those who have studied the PUC., Intermediate or the degree course through the medium of the regional language shall be deemed to possess proficiency in that language.

Government accordingly direct that in future no person shall be eligible for appointment by direct recruitment to any of the aforesaid posts or to any other teaching post in any institution in which the medium of instruction is the regional language unless he has studied the Intermediate, PUC or the degree course through the medium of that language. In case suitable candidates of this category are not avai- lable those who studied through the said language medium in the lower classes or those who have studied that language as one of the subjects in the Intermediate, PUC or in the degree course shall be considered eligible for appointment to the said posts. This condition need not be insisted upon in the case of language teachers i.e. teachers in English, Tamil, Urdu, but those teachers shall be required to pass the Special language tests for officers of Education Department (High Standard) in Telugu within 4 years from the date of appointment as some knowledge of Telugu is essential for those teachers also.

3. Necessary amendments to the Special Rules for Andhra Pradesh Educational Service and Andhra Pradesh Educational Subordinate Service will be issued separately.
