Average education in the state needs reforms with changes ranging from curricula, building trust among parents, making the government junior colleges more accessible, including timely payment of trade fairs and reimbursements of reimbursements to students and institutions, among other things.
Various concerns were noticed by various stakeholders during the public hearing organized by the Telangana Education Commission (TEC) here on Wednesday.
TEC member Pl Vishweshwar Rao, who opened the session, emphasized that the state witnessed lower registration numbers and there was also a need for diversification by looking beyond the four traditional streams of MPC, BIPC, MEC and CEC.
No Junior College
For a girl who attended the hearing with her mother, the care was even easier. She comes from Kapra Mandal in Medkajgiri District, the home of more than 1.60 Lakh people, but without the Junior College government. Her family cannot afford private university costs and hesitates to send her away for higher education.
Parents also emphasized the lack of consciousness about Gurukula schools and called for reimbursement regulation, career guidance and greater CSR involvement in improving infrastructure and services.
Members of the civil society repeated these concerns, pointing to a poor infrastructure, high failure rates due to the distance to colleges, lack of career guidance and a shortage of teachers.
SHOTS SHOTS
Domain experts, teachers and trade union leaders spoke about the “visible erosion of trust” in government colleges. Of the 3,009 colleges in the state, only 400 were run by the government and more than 90% of the students are also registered in private institutions, they said. They called for a strict regulatory mechanism and strengthening the colleges with sufficient funds, coaching and infrastructure.
Participants also said that the government must reconsider the need for Eamcet if the intermediate research is brought the basis for future flows.

He also pointed to the stress level among students and the rapid commercialization of intermediary education. He ensured that TEC will study the various aspects in profound, suitable recommendations will analyze and formulate.
