              New Delhi: 
              Kendriya Vidyalaya campuses will now be available for skill 
              development courses after school hours, the human resource 
              development ministry said Wednesday. 
               
              The decision was taken by the board of governors of Kendriya 
              Vidyalayas Sangathan, chaired by Human Resource Development 
              Minister Kapil Sibal, following the recommendations of the 
              Academic Advisory Committee of the HRD ministry.  
               
              "The minister directed the Kendriya Vidyalayas to prepare a 
              detailed policy, especially with regard to preference to be given 
              to school children for the courses and the skills that may be 
              permitted," a ministry official said. 
               
              "The policy would also incorporate the provision of an exit clause 
              in case evening shifts are required," he said.  
               
              The guidelines for transfer of Kendriya Vidyalaya staff was also 
              revised.  
               
              According to the ministry officials, the new system will "provide 
              a fair chance to every employee of getting a choice posting and 
              will be done in a transparent manner. 
               
              "Posting to hard stations will be done only after 40 years of age, 
              both for ladies and others, and minimum three years of tenure will 
              be given at the place of first posting," the official said.  
               
              "This will provide a uniform ground for all employees and stop 
              favouritism," he said.  
               
              Other decisions taken by the board include in-service training 
              course for teachers, regional incentive awards and commencing 
              foreign language classes.
