ADILABAD, DEC. 25. The State president of the Andhra Pradesh United Teachers' Federation (UTF), K. Jojaiah, on Saturday criticised the Government for declaring a 20-day vacation for schools in two spells in view of Christmas and coming Sankranti festivals.

He said such acts would further weaken the education system.

The function was attended by the Additional Project Coordinator, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Vishwanath Rao, the Deputy District Education Officer, Neelkanth Rao, the UTF State executive committee member C. Kamala Kumari and district president P. Narayan Reddy.
