Special English as alternative 2nd language for SSC students

HYDERABAD: Children of parents who are domiciled in other States or
countries and foreign nationals who have been exempted from taking
Telugu as a compulsory second language in SSC examination, in
relaxation of GO 86 dated July 2, 2003, will now have to take Special
English as an alternative second language from 2007-08. School
Education Director S. Balasubramanyam, in a press release on Saturday,
told the Director of Government Examinations to obtain revised
applications for the tenth class examination from those candidates who
are eligible for exemption from 'compulsory Telugu as second
language'.

Further, parents of these candidates have to submit a certificate of
domicile in respect of the parent (s) issued by the Tahsildar or an
equivalent officer under the jurisdiction where the parent is
domiciled. Or they could submit a certificate from the cadre
controlling authority (only in respect of the Government of
India/Central public sector undertaking officer) that the individual
(parent) is domiciled in a certain State (other than AP). This
exercise is part of the government's efforts to implement the
three-language formula.
