The Telangana government is chalking out plans to strengthen the intermediate education in government junior colleges in the state to provide the students with quality education.
The measures to be taken up by the government are intended to upgrade the education standards in government colleges and to restore the faith of people in the government educational institutions.
After scrapping fees to the students and deciding to supply text books freely, the government turned its attention towards improving the learning levels of students.
State government has recently announced that students enrolling into government junior colleges need not pay any fee and could have free education. Free distribution of books would be carried out from July 31 this year.
There are around 402 government junior colleges spread in all the districts of state in which the current strength of students is 1.30 lakhs. Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister KadiyamSrihari said that his government wanted to ensure quality of education in all the government run institutions.
He said, “It has been observed that many students, especially from rural areas, are dropping out from studies after SSC due to their inability to pay even the admission fee in government junior colleges and government wanted them to bring back to colleges.”
State government would bear Rs 9 crores towards examination and admission fee and Rs 6 crores for free distribution of text books from this academic year. As part of strengthening the government colleges in terms of education, infrastructure and best teaching facilities would be provided. The government has announced to construct pukka buildings for all the existing government colleges besides establishing new colleges.
As part of this plan the colleges would be provided with laboratories, libraries and other facilities by next academic year.
On the other hand, the education ministry is contemplating to provide EAMCET coaching for the students during the summer vacation from next academic year. The ministry started negotiating with lecturers associations to provide the coaching to prepare the students to compete with students of private institutions.
At the same time the government has also decided to provide training to the lecturers working in all the government junior colleges to improve the teaching standards.
