Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan has refuted reports suggesting a surge in enrolment at Andhra Pradesh government schools, calling the data inaccurate.
The state’s education department recently released data indicating an increase in student enrolment across Andhra Pradesh government schools. The figures, which were highlighted in several media reports, suggested a notable upward trend in public‑school attendance.
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan publicly challenged these claims, stating that the numbers do not reflect the on‑ground reality. He urged the department to re‑examine the methodology used to compile the statistics and warned that premature conclusions could mislead policy decisions.
The CM’s objection underscores ongoing concerns about data reliability in the state’s education sector. Officials are expected to review the enrolment records and issue a clarified statement, while stakeholders await a transparent assessment of the actual growth in government school attendance.
