During the academic year 2009-2010 a total number of 20 class divisions, i.e 9 in L.P. Section and 11 in U.P. section were granted, but only 8 posts of LPSA are sanctioned. In 2008-2009 21 posts of Primary School teachers were sanctioned, but only 19 posts of Primary School Assistants are sanctioned in 2009-2010. It is pointed out that since it is a Training School, the number of Primary School Teachers required is equal to the number of class divisions. But only 20 Primary School Teachers are sanctioned, as per Ext.P1. 2. In appeal, the Deputy Director of Education sanctioned one more class division in U.P. Section by applying 1 : 40 ratio.
