DMK president M.K. Stalin has urged Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami to take back an order issued by the School Education Department, reducing the upper-age limit for the direct recruitment of teachers, from 57 to 40 for the open category and from 57 to 45 for reserved categories.
In a tweet, he said the move would affect job opportunities and destroy school education. Mr. Stalin also noted that about 10 lakh people had registered at employment exchanges, and were waiting for a job opportunity. The move would hurt their future, he said.
