Anbumani Ramadoss, president of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), criticized the Tamil Nadu state government for its failure to timely complete the recruitment process for secondary-grade and graduate teachers in government schools.
The Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) conducted an exam on February 4th, 2024, to fill 3,192 graduate teacher posts. Results were released on May 18th, but appointment orders are still pending. For 2,768 secondary-grade teacher posts, the answer keys haven't been released even three months after the exam, further delaying the process.
Mr. Ramadoss highlighted the negative impact of these delays on students, particularly those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds who rely on government schools for education. He urged the state government to expedite the recruitment process to ensure quality education.

Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president Anbumani Ramadoss on Sunday criticised the State government for not completing the recruitment process for secondary-grade and graduate teachers to fill vacancies in government schools.
In a social media post, he said the Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) had not completed the recruitment process for graduate and secondary-grade teachers. To fill 3,192 graduate teachers’ posts, the TRB conducted the exam on February 4 and announced the results on May 18. Despite completing certificate verification and publishing the final list of candidates, the appointment orders had not been served.
Mr. Anbumani said even three months after the exam was conducted to fill 2,768 secondary-grade teacher posts, the answer keys had not been published, which eventually delayed the paper correction process. Not appointing teachers to government schools has severely impacted the education of students. “Students who study in these schools are usually from a weak socio-economic background. The State government should complete the recruitment process at the earliest to ensure quality education for them,” he added.
