The Telangana government announced that intermediate colleges will be discontinued and the 10+2 schooling structure will be integrated into regular schools across the state.
The state government of Telangana has issued a directive to eliminate the existing intermediate colleges that currently cater to classes 11 and 12.
Under the new policy, the 10+2 curriculum will be merged into regular schools, meaning students will complete their higher secondary education within the same school they attend from lower grades.
Education Minister K. T. Rama Rao said the move aims to streamline infrastructure, reduce duplication of resources and bring uniformity to the state's schooling system.
The transition is slated to begin with the academic session starting in 2025, and the government will upgrade facilities in regular schools to accommodate the added classes.
Stakeholders, including teachers' unions and parents, have been invited to provide feedback as the implementation plan is finalised.
