A classroom revolution beyond chalk and talk
When was the last time you heard a Chief Minister talk about education with the same energy as a mega project or a big-ticket investment? In Telangana, that’s exactly what’s happening. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced that his government will roll out a brand-new Telangana Education Policy (TEP) on December 9, and let’s be honest – it doesn’t sound like ‘another routine policy’. It feels like a complete reboot of how the State looks at education.
And here’s why this matters.
For years, Telangana’s education system has had one glaring gap: despite churning out over 1.10 lakh engineering graduates every year, only about 15% actually land jobs. Think about it – so many young people study hard, graduate, and then hit a wall because what they’ve learned doesn’t quite match what industries or global markets demand. Revanth Reddy seems determined to break this cycle. There is a reason why he holds on to the Education portfolio. And the Chief Minister has proved, time and again, where his heart lies and what his intentions are to secure the future of Telangana’s children.
From basics to big picture
Revanth Reddy isn’t mincing words. He openly admitted that despite the government spending over Rs. 21,000 crore annually on education, 98% of that money goes just to pay salaries – leaving very little for new labs, infrastructure, or innovation. Now, that’s a red flag which he wants to fix.
And it’s not just about budgets. Revanth is putting the spotlight on the three big missing links in our current education system:
- Language – the ability to communicate effectively.
- Knowledge – a strong foundation across subjects.
- Skills – practical training to make students employable.
The new TEP promises to bring all these three together so that students are not just degree holders, but confident, job-ready young people who can thrive anywhere in the world.
Schools that compete with private institutions
Here’s a problem many parents will relate to: government schools often lose out to private ones, simply because private schools start from nursery, while government schools begin at Class I. Add to that the perception that private schools offer better discipline and attention, and it’s no surprise that 34 lakh children are in private schools while just 18 lakh are in government ones.
Revanth wants to flip this trend. The new education policy will focus on restoring trust in government schools, by giving them better infrastructure, better teaching, and, yes, starting early, so that parents don’t feel forced into private schooling.
Universities, ITIs and beyond
Revanth also knows and understands very well that higher education needs fresh approach and perspective to work in favour of students, enhancing their employability. He has already moved to appoint Vice-Chancellors to revive the glory of universities such as Osmania and Kakatiya. He’s also tackling the Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) by replacing outdated courses with industry-relevant programmes.
One shining example: The Young India Skills University, which is being designed to make skills and training as important as academics.
And in case you’re wondering, this isn’t just about schools and colleges. The policy will touch every level of education – school, higher, technical, and vocational – to create a seamless, future-ready ecosystem.
Big vision, big investment
Revanth Reddy is making it clear that education isn’t “expenditure” – it’s investment. He has even asked Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to exempt education loans from Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) limits, so the State can borrow more freely to fund improvements. The plan includes a special ‘Education Corporation’, which will pump money into labs, classrooms, and modern facilities.
And talks don’t stop at just that! There are big numbers involved. For example, the government is already spending over Rs. 21,000 crore on building 105 Young India Integrated Residential Schools – each equipped with labs, sports facilities, and space for more than 2,500 students. That’s not patchwork reform but long-term transformation.
What strikes the most about this policy is its people-first, ground-up approach – a model the Chief Minister has been following ever since he assumed office in December 2023. Besides focusing on big institutions in Hyderabad, Revanth Reddy is connecting the dots from rural schools to technical universities, from basic classrooms to global skills.
He’s also pointing out how falling standards have led to despair among students, even pushing some toward drugs. His message is simple: education should create not just employable graduates, but healthy, confident, and responsible citizens.
A model for the nation?
The Chief Minister is bold enough to say that the Telangana Education Policy could become a model for the entire country. And honestly, if it succeeds, why not? After all, India’s biggest strength is its youth. Preparing them with the right mix of knowledge, skills, and confidence could be the most powerful poverty-alleviation tool we’ve ever had.
As Revanth put it: “Education is the only weapon to fight poverty. Land and welfare schemes can go only so far – but education changes lives permanently.”
December 9, 2025, will be the big reveal, but even at this stage, one thing is clear: Telangana is rewriting the rulebook for education. And if the lights stay on, this could be the spark that sets the stage for the State’s next big leap.

Many schemes land welfare go so far and come but education system only to fight the poverty and changes life permanently .

10 వ తరగతి తర్వాత చదువు కొనసాగించే విద్యార్థులకు ప్రవేశాలు మెరిట్ ఆధారంగా చేయాలని, ప్రభుత్వ పాఠశాలల్లో చదివిన విద్యార్థులకు మాత్రమే పూర్తి స్థాయిలో ఉపకార వేతనాలు ఇవ్వాలి.
సాంకేతిక పరిజ్ఞానం వల్ల ప్రజలు సొంతంగా డబ్బులు సంపాదించడం ప్రారంబించి కుటుంబాన్ని పోషించే స్థితి వస్తుంది.

మన తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్ర లో మొదటగా ప్రవేట్ పాఠశాలను తాగేచాలి ప్రభుత్వ పాఠశాలలు మూత పడుతున్నాయి

విద్య,వెధ్యం, ఇవి ఇస్తే చాలు మిగితావి వాడు తీసుకో గలుగుతాడు.అలాగే ఇపుడు ఉన్న ప్రభుత్వ పాఠశాలలో 7వ తరగతి నుంచి 10వ తరగతి వరకు మన భారత రాజ్యాంగం గురించి 3లెద 4 పాటలను పెట్టి వాటిని విద్యార్థులకు తెలియ చేస్తే ఆ యొక్క రాజ్యాంగము గురిచి అందరికి తెలుస్తది.అది మనకు ఇలా ఉపయోగ పడుతుంది అని ప్రతి ఒక్కరికి అర్థం అవుతుంది. భారత దేశం లోని ప్రతి ఒక్కరికి మన రాజ్యాగం గురిచి తెస్తదో అపుడు దేశము బాగు పడుతది.

There should not be any differentiation in caste, religion, poverty in Education system. One should not ask about caste certificate for education from 1st to 10th grade. I strongly recommend to rename BC,SC,ST & Minority/Others Welfare to only “Telangana Role model Welfare Schools”. This is the real vision for the coming generation who should not fight for caste/religion. Need to identify each student talents before completing 10th and should assign them skill set based on their interest and capability. We should have two types of students like Technical (those who are interested in Manufacturing & Sports) & Non-Technical (Further education & professionals). Need to introduce Laws and basic sections for children from 8th class to 10th.
A real leader who cuts the cost and uses the available resource effectively. I strongly agree your education policy which is good for coming generation and young India – will remember such reforms forever in the hearts of people if it’s get implemented with 100% accuracy.
