Hyderabad, Sep 17 (NationPress) Telangana's newly formulated education policy aims to combine language, fundamental knowledge, and skills to empower students to compete on a global scale, announced Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday.

During a review meeting, the Chief Minister emphasized that this policy is tailored to reflect ground realities, academic requirements, and future aspirations. He envisions this policy becoming a guiding light for the nation's education system moving forward.

He noted that the existing education framework is deficient in critical areas such as language, basic knowledge, and skills, and the new policy will address these gaps, ensuring students are equipped for global competition.

This innovative education policy will be integrated into the TelanganaRising Vision Document-2047, set to be unveiled on December 9 of this year. The CM urged educators to establish sub-committees aligned with their interests to create a comprehensive document.

He remarked that the government is committed to a complete revamp of the education sector in the state. Acknowledging the lack of land and financial resources to assist the impoverished, he asserted that high-quality education is the most effective tool to combat poverty.

CM Revanth Reddy recalled how India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, recognized the vital role of education and established prestigious institutions like universities and IITs. He expressed concern that the current education system is failing to produce the talent necessary to seize opportunities arising from economic liberalization.

He highlighted that many youth are thriving in the software industry due to the proliferation of engineering colleges; however, only about 10% of the thousands of engineering graduates secure employment. The primary issue, he indicated, is a deficiency in adequate skills.

He expressed worry that even with significant funding directed towards education, enrollment in government schools is steadily declining. Private institutions are catering to early education, while government schools commence from Class 1. Parents prefer private schools due to the personalized attention their children receive.

The Chief Minister also reminded that the state government promptly recruited teachers upon taking office to ensure a healthy teacher-student ratio in government schools. Promotions and transfers of teachers were initiated to guarantee that the faculty focuses on providing quality education.

Reiterating the government's commitment to invest generously in education, CM Revanth Reddy announced plans to establish a special Education Corporation to enhance infrastructure and educational standards.
