Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday reviewed the New Education Policy (NEP) Rearrangement in the state. He directed officials to ensure that teachers are appointed in schools as per classification and minimum student-teacher ratio. He also instructed officials to create awareness on the NEP and clear doubts, along with orientation programmes to further enlighten district Collectors, Joint Collectors, DEOs, and PDs.

Under the NEP, schools have been classified into six categories from pre-primary (PP) to Class 12 Viz  satellite schools (PP-1 and PP-2) foundation schools (PP-1 to Class 2), foundation plus schools (PP-1 to Class 5), pre-high schools (PP-1 to Class 7), high schools (Classes 3-10), and high school plus (Classes 3-12). Reddy noted that the medium of instruction in the schools will be English to enable the students to take on the cut-throat competition in the real world while mother tongue Telugu will be taught as a compulsory subject.

He said the state government is spending over Rs 16,000 crore on NEP and the Nadu-Nedu programme. Skilled teachers will be made available in the schools, even the single teacher schools will be transformed where different subjects will be taught by different teachers as this would also reduce the workload on teachers. A promotion channel will also be set up for qualified Anganwadi teachers,” the Chief Minister added.
