Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said the decision was aimed at reducing student dropouts after Class 10 and ensuring continuity in education

Overview

  • The state government ordered the merger of Intermediate (11th–12th) into the School Education Department and the introduction of a 10+2 structure, a step first directed by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in a review meeting on Wednesday.
  • Plans include creating senior secondary classes in schools (Classes 9–12) and reorganising stages into primary (nursery–4), secondary (5–8) and senior secondary (9–12) to provide a continuous school pathway up to Class XII.
  • The administration has directed a fast track for infrastructure projects, including 105 Young India Integrated Residential Schools estimated at about ₹200 crore each and one Telangana Public School per assembly constituency.
  • The chief minister assured that junior‑college lecturers and non‑teaching staff will keep employment and retirement benefits and ordered welfare hostels to move out of rented premises into permanent facilities.
  • Organised resistance from the Intermediate Education JAC and expert warnings about classroom space, faculty shortages, exam management and syllabus alignment present the main near‑term risks to a smooth 2027–28 rollout.
