Chennai: The Tamil Nadu government has barred teachers, who handle private tuitions, from applying for the government’s best teacher award. The award, named after former president S Radhakrishnan, is distributed to around 300-odd teachers from state board schools. The award includes a cash prize and a medal.
Guidelines for nominating candidates were released on Saturday. Accordingly, those who handle tuition classes against the law were barred from applying. Service conduct rules and Right of Children for Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, ban the same. Those working with commercial bias and members of private school boards are also restricted this time.
A district-level committee will shortlist applications. It is the responsibility of the teams to ensure that applicants don't have pending criminal cases against their names and are not affiliated to any political party.
Teachers and headmasters with minimum 15 and 20 years of experience respectively can apply. Awards will be distributed on September 5. TNN
