CHENNAI: To alleviate the workload of teachers and non-teaching staff, the School Education Department in Tamil Nadu has introduced a systematic approach through the Education Management Information System (EMIS) portal.

The initiative includes guidelines and instructions for educators and non-teaching staff, offering a simplified method for data entry using their assigned usernames and passwords.

It underscores the consistent appointment of authorities responsible for addressing the concerns of these professionals in all educational establishments," the circular stated.
