Education Minister Botcha Satyanarayana has said that there are around 9,000 single-teacher schools which have a strength of less than 20 students in the State.
“Single-teacher schools are those where the student strength is below 20. If the strength is above 20, we are allotting two teachers in such schools as per norms,” the Minister said at a press conference held here on Monday.
Mr. Satyanarayana said that in every mandal, five teachers were kept on reserve (mobile teachers), who will be allotted duties at single-teacher schools whenever the teacher goes on leave.
