Telangana is planning to enter 2026 with a new approach to education. The leaders of the state had a meeting with officials from Himachal Pradesh to look into the reforms that are to be brought in Telangana. It includes the invention of a 'Telangana Education Policy' to change the state's public schooling landscape.
According to India Today, during a meeting at the Secretariat, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy mentioned that the State Government was formulating a unique Telangana Education Policy based on the ideas of the National Education Policy by forming a committee assisted by education experts.
The Chief Minister of Telangana emphasised the state's flagship integrated school initiative. It is mentioned that each residential school is being built on 25 acres of land, which comes at the cost of 200 crore, where students from all communities, SC, ST, BC, and minority, will study together.
Infrastructure and inclusion
The state looks forward to a system where every residential campus will be equipped with modern infrastructure and deliver resources across social and economic backgrounds. The schools will be planned in such a way that they will promise students from the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, Backwards Classes, and the minorities to have access to the same facilities and opportunities.
