Telangana HC Refuses to Interfere in SGT Notification Plea

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court was not inclined to interfere in the minimum qualifying marks set up in the notification for 796 posts of special education teachers for children with special needs at the primary level in the category of Secondary Grade Teachers. The notification mandated that the applicants must possess Intermediate or its equivalent exam as recognised by the state Intermediate board with at least 50 per cent marks, and pass in the two-year diploma in elementary education, or special education in D.Ed or others. Several aspirants, working as inclusive education resource persons on contract for several years, challenged before the High Court the 50 per cent restriction and also GO 4 issued by the school education department dated February 28, which also declared the same qualifying marks. He said that on an earlier occasion, the High Court had given relief to candidates who were admitted to the diploma in elementary education course after 2007 and had not secured 50 per cent in Intermediate.
