Aakunuri Murali said the commission had finished the task assigned by the Telangana government. He thanked the government for giving him the opportunity to lead the panel and requested approval of his resignation. Reports said he still had a few months left in his tenure.

The Telangana Education Commission was formed in 2024 to improve education standards across the state. The panel recently submitted recommendations on reforms in public and private education. Some of the suggestions, especially on staff salary rationalisation, triggered criticism from teacher unions.

The resignation of Aakunuri Murali has now sparked discussion in Telangana’s education sector about the future of the commission and its recommendations.

Teachers are also worried about subjects that they do not teach in school. A Social Studies teacher must also study Maths, Science and Language teaching methods. Many teachers have been teaching only one subject for years. They say it is very stressful to cover the full syllabus within a short period. Teachers also want extra preparation time and change in syllabus rules for in-service staff.

According to the Supreme Court ruling, TET is compulsory for government teachers. The rule will affect promotions and service eligibility. Teachers appointed through DSC without earlier TET requirement must also qualify now. They say they did not plan for the exam because TET was not mandatory for many years.

Teachers demand exemption for those appointed before August 23, 2010. They say the rule should only apply to teachers appointed later. They plan to continue appealing to state and central governments for a fair decision.
