T to scrap Intermediate Board, roll out 10+2 system from next year
Hyderabad: The state govt has decided to scrap the Board of Intermediate Eduction (BIE) and replace it with 10+2 school education system from the 2027-28 academic year. The CM, who is also the education minister, said the 10+2 system should consist of primary (nursery to class 4), secondary (class 5 to 8), and senior secondary (class 9 to 12), replacing primary, upper primary and secondary school system.
Department of school education officials, however, said that they were yet to receive any instructions regarding the merger of Intermediate Board with the department of school education. Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday directed officials to make all arrangements to implement the new system.
The CM directed officials to work out all formalities to implement the new (continuous 10+2) education system. In the meeting, the CM and officials discussed the 10+2 system already in place in 18 states across the country.
“The main objective of the reforms is to provide quality education from nursery to university and prepare students to compete in the modern world,” he added.
Earlier in the day, CM held a review meeting of the education department at the MCRHRD Institute.
Telangana Recognised School Managements’ Association head Y Shekhar Rao asked: “What will happen to schools with classes till 8th? Will they be allowed to add these classes on existing premises?”
