1. Teaching And Recruiting –
Case Study
Intel® Education Initiative The Intel Way
Education
The Intel® Teach Program and Master Trainer Club, Visakhapatnam, organised
campus recruitment at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Education,
Andhra University, to help solve the problem of unemployment.
Located in Visakhapatnam district, Andhra University is not just one of the oldest educational institutions in
India, but also the first to be regarded as a residential and teaching-cum-affiliating university. The Institute
of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE), a department of Andhra University, started functioning from the
year 1998. The Institute offers pre-service and in-service training programs for secondary school teachers,
including B Ed and M Ed courses.
Challenges Student teachers who complete their B Ed or other courses from IASE are
well equipped with knowledge, skills and attitudes to integrate technology in
education. The major problem was unemployment. The student teachers were
not getting employed after they completed their respective courses. A program
to address these problems was needed in order to help the student teachers
find the right jobs for themselves in reasonable time.
Andhra Pradesh
Solution There was a lack of knowledge about the vacant teacher positions available in
schools. Organised Campus Recruitment was carried out at IASE in collaboration
with Intel® Teach Program and Master Trainer Club, Visakhapatnam. Driving
the implementation process were: Prof Beela Satyanarayana, Vice Chancellor,
Andhra University, Prof P V G D Prasada Reddy, Registrar, Andhra University,
Prof K P Subba Rao, Dean – Faculty of Education, Andhra University, and
Mr Prashant Kumar Panda, Secretary, Master Trainer Club, Visakhapatnam.
A follow-up plan was put in place to ensure that the program would be sustained
for a long period by making it a part of Andhra University’s academic calendar.
