The Andhra Pradesh State Teachers Transfers Regulation Act, 2025 regulates the posting, transfer, and rationalization of Grade-II Headmasters and teachers in government and municipal schools across the state. The law mandates service in rural areas and introduces a transparent, counseling-based transfer mechanism governed by clear vacancy notifications, preferential categories, and an entitlement points system. By establishing structured, objective criteria for staff relocation, the Act aims to prevent arbitrary transfers, balance teacher deployment across urban and rural schools, and ensure that public school students have consistent access to qualified educators.
