Telangana to implement 10+2 education system from next academic year
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directed officials to prepare for the transition to meet modern requirements.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has directed officials to take steps to implement a 10+2 education system starting from the 2027-28 academic year, according to The Hindu.
The directive was issued during a meeting at MCR HRD in Hyderabad on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, involving senior State Education Department officials, Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju, and government Adviser K. Keshava Rao.
Reddy, who also serves as the Education Minister, stated that reforms are necessary to keep pace with modern needs. He suggested that standards from Class 9 to Class 12 should be treated as higher education to provide specialised learning.
The Chief Minister emphasised that the government aims to improve learning standards and provide better opportunities for students. He noted that the administration intends to transform government schools so they reach the same levels as private institutions.
To support these changes, Reddy instructed officials to develop the required infrastructure. He also stressed that the transition must be smooth and should not result in any disadvantage for students.
The government plans to focus on skill development for students after they complete Class 12.
