Limit benefits of ‘Amma Vodi’ scheme to government schools, urges municipal teachers’ body

The Hindu  

Leaders of the Municipal Teachers Federation urged the Telugu Desam Party -led coalition government in the State to implement the ‘Amma Vodi’ scheme benefits exclusively for students of State-run schools of Andhra Pradesh. In a statement released on Saturday, MTF’s State president S. Ramakrishna said that government schools had already witnessed a large-scale exodus of students who moved to private educational institutions when the former YSR Congress Party government announced its decision to extend the scheme benefits to students of private schools. He said due to the extension of the ‘Amma Vodi’ scheme benefits to private schools, more than 3 lakh students left government schools and joined private institutions. Citing that the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on Thursday adopted a Bill to earmark 7.5% of seats on a “preferential basis” for students from State government schools in admission to professional courses, Mr. Ramakrishna said Andhra Pradesh should also implement the same to attract students and parents to government schools.
