Green light for pre-primary sections in 790 more schools 

The State government accorded permission for pre-primary sections in the remaining 790 government schools across Telangana, thus completing a target of 1,000 government schools for the 2025-26 academic year.

In June, the government had permitted pre-primary sections in 210 schools, under Samagra Shiksha. Secretary (Education) Yogita Rana’s order also stated an approval of ₹33.0123 crore for the pre-primary sections. The order directs the departments of School Education, Women Development and Child Welfare, and Health, Medical and Family Welfare, for a joint and coordinated implementation of all guidelines for establishing and operating these sections.

Two posts — a pre-primary instructor and an ‘aaya’ were sanctioned for each section. The curriculum to be followed is prescribed by SCERT and will align with National Curriculum Framework for the Foundational Stage.
