Chennai, June 3 (IANS) Under the Samagra Shiksha programme, the government of Tamil Nadu will employ 8,209 administrators-cum-instructors in high-tech laboratories of government schools for 60 months or 5 years.


The Project Director of Samagra Shiksha has directed all district educational officers of Tamil Nadu to make the appointments with immediate effect.


A Samagra Shiksha circular stated that the administrators will be employed for operations and maintenance duty for 60 months.


The project will be executed with the support of a private enterprise.


The department laid down a two-part testing process for selection of candidates with a screening test to assess soft technical skills with dynamically-generated questions.


The second level will be a computer-based test for those who pass screening and will be a monitored test focused on core skills and academic knowledge to further refine the selection which is likely to be done on June 5 in all 38 districts of TN.


The high-tech labs will upgrade technical infrastructure to equip students with knowledge of the latest technological advancements.


The Tamil Nadu government has also established 22,931 smart boards and 8,209 high-tech labs in government schools.
