All the Regional Joint Directors of School Education and the District

Educational Ofcers in the state are informed that as per the norms in the

G.Os 1st to 8th read above, the unaided schools admitted into Grant-in-Aid

in the State of Andhra Pradesh.

In the reference 10th cited, the Hon'ble Apex court made the

following observation at para 8 of the judgement

"Needless to observe that if there is inadequate response to the

Government funded school, it is but appropriate that either the divisions

there of or the school itself be closed and the students and staf of such

schools be transferred".

In this connection, they are informed that in the decades of 1970's

and 1980's the number of Government and local body schools are very low

and for educating the students number of educational institutions

established by the group of individuals/organisations under charity. From

1990s under APPEP/DPEP/SSA schemes, a number of schools have been

established by Government and local bodies by covering all most all the

habitations in the State of Andhra Pradesh. To achieve the aim of

universalisation of elementary education and literate every child in the

habitations, Government of Andhra Pradesh more focussed on creating

access to the students. Further at the same time, number of unaided

schools were permitted by the Government to meet the educational needs

of the students. Meanwhile owing to a number of reasons, the strength of

the aided schools has been gradually declining.

Further, they are informed that as per amendment brought to Sub-
