Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed the Education Department to prepare for the introduction of the 10+2 education system from the next academic year, marking a significant step towards reforming the state's education sector.
During a review meeting with senior Education Department officials, the Chief Minister discussed the need to modernise the existing education framework and make it more relevant to changing academic requirements and future employment opportunities.
Revanth Reddy emphasised that providing quality education to every student should remain the government's top priority. He also instructed officials to ensure that the proposed changes are implemented without negatively affecting students or disrupting their academic progress.
Greater Focus on Education from Nursery to Class 12
The Chief Minister called for improvements across all stages of school education, particularly from nursery to Class 12. He suggested introducing specialised education for students studying in Classes 9 to 12 to help them develop knowledge and abilities suited to their interests and future career paths.
He also highlighted the importance of strengthening skill development at the Class 12 level. The objective is to provide students with practical learning opportunities and equip them with skills that could support their future employment prospects.
Infrastructure Development for Education Reforms
As part of the proposed education reforms in Telangana, Revanth Reddy instructed officials to assess the infrastructure requirements and identify the facilities needed for successful implementation.
The government is also focusing on improving the overall standard of government schools. The Chief Minister stated that public educational institutions should be strengthened to compete with private schools in terms of infrastructure, teaching quality and academic standards.
Government Focuses on Improving Government Schools
The proposed 10+2 education system is part of the broader effort to improve the quality of education across Telangana. The government aims to create an education environment that supports academic development while giving students opportunities to acquire practical and career-oriented skills.
Officials have been directed to prepare the necessary arrangements for introducing the proposed changes from the coming academic year.
The planned reforms are expected to place greater emphasis on specialised learning, practical skill development and infrastructure improvements. However, the detailed implementation framework and other specific measures will depend on the preparations undertaken by the Education Department.
