Telangana Hyderabad - Inter colleges reopen to lukewarm attendance
Intermediate colleges reopened on saturday but with a low turnout of second-year students and much less participation in first-year sessions, with applications still available. The start of the academic year was hindered by a lack of teaching personnel. The lack of permanent junior professors (about 1,654) and reliance on guest faculty during the last five years have had a significant influence on educational quality, according to lecturers.
They hoped that the government would speed up the recruiting process and fill empty posts as soon as possible. The guest faculty from the previous two academic years is awaiting confirmation of their permanent employment. Despite examination and recruiting notices, no actual instructions have been given, casting a veil over the academic future. The government has announced the establishment of new junior colleges, but the administrative framework has yet to take shape. There is no principal at any of the fifteen newly founded government junior colleges. They govern the institutions through temporary in-charge appointments.

"This arrangement is insufficient to address the operational issues, resulting in delays and misunderstanding among professors and students. As a result, admissions are down significantly," stated a senior instructor at a government institution in Nampally. Dr. Koppisetti Suresh, general secretary of the telangana Gazetted junior Lecturers Association (TGJLA), who met with shruti Ojha, director of intermediate education and secretary of the telangana State Board of education, requested an immediate action plan for incoming class 10 students transitioning to junior college.
"The absence of a planned admission drive and route-map from the intermediate board has hampered the enrolling process. "We need a clear and effective plan to ensure that students can smoothly transition and begin their studies without further delay," he stated. The misunderstanding extends to the availability of textbooks and other study materials. students in government junior colleges are particularly disadvantaged because the telugu Akademi has failed to issue the textbooks necessary for the academic year.
