The following example will make the point clear. Example: If a parallel media High School has two media enrolment as follows: Telugu Medium enrolment: 200 English Medium enrolment : 76 Total Enrolment : 276 For Telugu Medium enrolment (200) Annexure – III is to be followed for counting posts, Teachers (SAs except English) and for English Medium enrolment (76), Annexure IV is to be followed for additional posts (SA-Maths, SA-Phy. Sci, SA-Bio. Sci and SA-SS) and for counting School Asst. English, other Language Teachers and Specialist Teachers total enrolment of the School (200 + 76= 276) is to be taken in to account against Annexure – III. 3. Though, for the sake of Rationalisation exercise School Assts. (Non-language subjects) are shown separately for English and Telugu Medium, all (8) teachers have to handle subject classes, whether English or Telugu medium according to Time Table prepared.
