Education Government

Event Summary

The India — Telangana government, led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, has temporarily deferred the proposed merger of Intermediate education with the School Education Department for the 2026-27 academic year. This decision was made due to limited time and various technical and administrative challenges. The India — Telangana Education Commission had recommended abolishing the existing Intermediate system and replacing it with Classes 11 and 12, similar to the India — Central Board of Secondary Education pattern, to reduce student dropouts. However, an earlier announcement suspending Intermediate admissions caused anxiety among students and parents. Following a review meeting with key officials, Revanth Reddy directed that admissions proceed as usual and that extensive consultations with stakeholders be held. A final decision on the merger will be taken after discussions in the Odisha — Odisha Legislative Assembly.
