Hyderabad, October 5, 2007
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy while participating in the World Teachers Day celebrations organized on Friday announced that the State Government is planning to spend about Rs.30,000 crore on Secondary Education in the State in the next six years. This is to improve the standards in 10,000-odd Government Schools and to enable the students to compete with their peers in private schools.
Dr. Reddy underscored the need of English medium in the era of competition. The parents have realized the need of English medium education and are sending their wards to private schools though the expenditure was beyond their limits. The Chief Minister said that in the first phase of their programme, nearly 700 residential schools in the State would be modernized. The Government would spend Rs.400 crore this year and another Rs 1,400 crore next year.
The Chief Minister presented awards to meritorious teachers, lecturers and professors. Higher Education Minister D Srinivas, Technical Education Minister, R Chenga Reddy, Adult Education Minister M Hanumantharao and Principal Secretary to Higher Education Asutosh Mishra also spoke on the occasion.
