The Andhra Pradesh State Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers' Cadre) Act, 2021

Education20217 sections

This law regulates teaching recruitment in government-owned and aided state universities and colleges across Andhra Pradesh. It applies directly to job applicants belonging to marginalized groups, including scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, backward classes, economically weaker sections, women, disabled persons, and meritorious sportspeople. By treating each educational institution as a single unit rather than restricting reservations to individual departments, the law ensures a more effective application of job quotas. This legislation matters because it promotes equity and guarantees diverse representation among faculty members teaching in the state's public higher education system, thereby advancing social justice in academic recruitment.
