The Andhra Pradesh government has announced the formation of a 16‑member panel to scrutinise the state’s 25% free admission scheme in private schools.
The panel will comprise education officials, school administrators and representatives from civil society, tasked with evaluating the policy’s implementation and impact.
Its mandate is to review eligibility criteria, the allocation process and compliance mechanisms, aiming to ensure that the free seats are genuinely accessible to economically weaker sections.
The government expects the panel to submit its recommendations in the coming months, which could lead to amendments in the policy framework.
