The office of the Chief Educational Officer has received more than 150 applications so far. The last date for submission of applications has been extended to July 15.

According to sources, the Teacher Training Certificate course is meant for special teachers, in three categories — drawing, music and tailoring. In Madurai district, 131 applications have been received for tailoring course, and 12 applications for drawing.

Training for tailoring applicants will be held at Dindigul, while drawing teachers will be trained at Virudhunagar. At the end of training, the department will issue certificates. Qualified teachers can apply for special teacher vacancies in Government and aided schools.
