In a major reform of the state’s education framework, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced that the existing Intermediate Education system will be merged with the School Education Department from the 2027-28 academic session, paving the way for a 10+2 education structure similar to those followed by CBSE and ICSE boards.
The decision was taken during a high-level review meeting chaired by the Chief Minister with senior officials of the Education Department at the Dr. MCR HRD Institute (MCRHRDI) in Hyderabad. Under the proposed model, Classes XI and XII will be integrated into the school education system, replacing the standalone Intermediate education structure that has been in place in the state for decades.
The move is aimed at aligning Telangana’s education system with national standards and ensuring a smoother academic transition from secondary to higher secondary education. Officials believe the integration will help streamline curriculum planning, improve administrative efficiency and provide students with a more cohesive learning experience.
The government is expected to work out the implementation framework, including curriculum changes, institutional restructuring and teacher deployment, before the new system comes into force.
The announcement marks one of the most significant education policy changes in Telangana in recent years and is expected to impact lakhs of students, teachers and educational institutions across the state.
