The Telangana government is planning a major reform in the state’s education system by merging the separate Intermediate Education system with School Education from the 2027-28 academic year.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has proposed introducing a unified 10+2 education structure, similar to the systems followed by CBSE and ICSE institutions. The proposed reform aims to bring education from nursery to Class 12 under a more integrated framework.
The Chief Minister reviewed the proposed changes with Education Department officials on Wednesday and directed them to prepare a detailed implementation plan. He also emphasised the need to strengthen educational infrastructure and improve the overall quality of education across the state.
The proposed merger is intended to ensure continuity in students’ academic journeys, improve learning standards and reduce the number of students dropping out after completing Class 10.
Currently, Telangana follows a separate Intermediate Education system for students pursuing Classes 11 and 12. Under the proposed changes, these two years would be integrated into the broader school education structure.
The government is expected to focus on infrastructure development, academic planning and other administrative arrangements before implementing the reform.
The proposal marks a significant step towards restructuring Telangana’s education system. Further details regarding implementation, curriculum changes, examinations and institutional arrangements are expected as the Education Department prepares its action plan.
