# P A Naresh named Tamil Nadu school education director 2026-11-13T03:00:29+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Outlets counted: newindianexpress.com, timesofindia.indiatimes.com The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday, 12 November, appointed P A Naresh, currently director of elementary education, as director of school education, according to an order issued by school education secretary J Innocent Divya. In a reshuffle of six senior officials, K Sasikala, director of government examinations, was transferred and posted as director of elementary education. M Palanisamy, a Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) member, was moved to director of private schools, while S Suganya, the incumbent, was appointed TRB secretary. TRB secretary V C Rameswaramurugan was posted as additional project director of Samagra Shiksha, with S Uma moving to director of government examinations. The Times of India reports that K Sridevi, joint director of the TRB, was promoted and appointed as a member of the TRB. The New Indian Express adds the school education director post had been held by SCERT director N Latha as additional in-charge following the retirement of S Kannappan, and that Sridevi will fill the vacancy created by Palanisamy's transfer. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both The Times of India and The New Indian Express report the six-post reshuffle as a routine administrative order, with no political framing or commentary. The Times of India leads with the appointment and lists each transfer in the sequence of the official order, while The New Indian Express adds the context of the retirement that had left the post with an additional in-charge. Neither outlet highlights any controversy, delay, or criticism, and the coverage is uniform in tone. The only practical difference is the extra background on the post's interim occupancy, which does not alter the neutral framing. The next development to watch is whether the new director takes charge and implements any policy changes, but the sources name no further step.
