Telangana government has approved the merger of its 55-year-old intermediate education system with the School Education Department from 2027-28. The new structure will introduce Classes XI and XII, ending a system that has shaped generations of students but also faced repeated controversies.
The Telangana government is preparing legislation aimed at protecting students from caste-based discrimination in higher educational institutions, following a similar initiative in Karnataka. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has directed officials to prepare a draft of the proposed Rohith Vemula Telangana Bill within three months.
