Telangana to adopt 10+2 education system from next academic year
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directed officials to implement the new system starting in the 2027-28 academic year.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has directed officials to take steps to introduce a 10+2 education system in the state from the next academic year, according to reports by Deccan Chronicle and The Hindu.
The Chief Minister issued these instructions during a meeting with senior State Education Department officials, Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju, and government Adviser K. Keshava Rao at MCR HRD in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
Reddy, who is also the Education Minister, stated that the changes are necessary to meet modern requirements. He suggested that classes nine to 12 should be treated as higher education to provide specialised learning to students.
The Chief Minister said the government intends to prioritise education from nursery through Class 12, with an emphasis on skill development once students complete Class 12.
Reddy instructed officials to develop the required infrastructure for the transition and expressed a commitment to bringing government schools up to the standards of private institutions.
He emphasised that the reforms must focus on improving learning standards and providing better opportunities without causing any disadvantage to students during the transition to the 2027-28 academic year.
