Telangana Defers Merger of Intermediate Education with School System for 2026-27

The Telangana government has postponed the merger of Intermediate education with the school system, deciding to continue admissions for the 2026-27 academic year under the existing framework. The proposal, based on the Telangana Education Commission's recommendation to adopt a CBSE-style Class 11 and 12 system to reduce dropout rates, faces technical and administrative challenges. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy stated that a final decision will follow a Legislative Assembly debate.
