The Story in Brief
Twelve of Telangana’s 31 Kendriya Vidyalayas are functioning without regular principals, according to Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan data cited by The Times of India. The vacancies range from three months to three years, with teachers, vice-principals and other staff holding additional charge. The affected schools include institutions in Hyderabad and districts such as Adilabad, Warangal, Siddipet and Nizamabad.
The Union education ministry recently told the Rajya Sabha that 344 of India’s 1,257 KVs lack regular principals. Telangana’s vacancy rate of about 39% is above the national average of 27.4%. KVS officials said recruitment is underway, but prolonged vacancies have added administrative duties to staff and may affect leadership continuity and enrolment.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy claim that schools are simply being left to collapse is not supported by the report, since staff continue to run daily operations and recruitment is underway. But treating temporary charge as an adequate substitute is equally weak. Principals handle finances, staffing and academic direction, not just ceremonies. The recruitment timeline and the number of appointments made will show whether this is a short delay or a staffing failure.
