The Andhra Pradesh School Education Department has issued proceedings (Rc.No. GE-EXAM0SSC(INST)/13/2026-DGE) regarding the deputation of School Level Observers (SLOs) for Class 10 (SSC) Summative Assessment-1 (SA-1) examinations for the 2026–27 academic year.
Key Responsibilities & Operational Guidelines for SLOs
1. Reporting & Attendance
- Reporting Time: Observers must report to their allotted school by 8:30 AM on the day of the exam (exam timing is 9:15 AM to 12:30 PM).
- Observers must log their presence in the school’s attendance/visitor register using the official duty order.
2. Pre-Exam & Examination Duties
- Verification of Arrangements: SLOs must verify that examination halls, seating arrangements, invigilators, attendance sheets, answer booklets, and question papers are fully prepared.
- Non-Interference: Observers must not perform invigilation, handle answer scripts directly, or give direct orders to students or invigilators. Any rectifications or instructions must strictly go through the Headmaster (HM).
- Issue Reporting: Any irregularities must be brought to the HM's notice immediately, and serious matters must be escalated to the Mandal Educational Officer (MEO).
3. Evaluation & Verification Procedure
- In-School Evaluation: Answer sheet evaluation must be completed within 3 working days following each exam. Evaluated answer scripts must remain under the safe custody of the HM.
- Cross-School Verification (Day 4): A same-subject School Assistant (SA) from another school in the mandal will carry out verification on Day 4.
- SLO Role in Evaluation: The SLO verifies the sample evaluation and records but cannot alter marks. Necessary corrections must be made by the HM or the evaluating teacher.
4. Marks Uploading (LEAP App)
- The HM must ensure that all marks for the school are uploaded into the LEAP App by Day 7. Strict departmental action will be initiated for non-compliance or delays.
Administrative Roles & Escalation Chain
- Headmasters (HMs): Required to cooperate fully, produce necessary records, relieve teachers assigned as SLOs, and make internal invigilation adjustments.
- Mandal Educational Officers (MEOs): Direct the mandal-level compliance, resolve issues immediately, check daily mark uploads, and submit daily consolidated reports to the Dy. EO and DEO.
- Deputy Educational Officers (Dy. EOs) & DEOs: Monitor overall district-level execution, issue official duty orders, and ensure strict compliance reporting to the Director of School Education, AP.
