Hyderabad: Telangana State Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Wednesday directed the officials to establish 522 new social welfare residential schools with classes from IV to XII under the flagship scheme of ‘KG to PG free education' in the State. The good results produced by the social welfare residential schools led to taking the decision.
The Chief Minister held a daylong review meeting on the Education Department with Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari , Telangana State Public Service Commission Chairman Ghanta Chakrapani, Adviser to government B V Papa Rao, Principal Secretary (Education) Ranjeev R Acharaya and other officials at the Secretariat here on Wednesday.
At the meeting, KCR directed the officials to open 10 residential schools in each constituency. He said that social welfare residential schools were performing well. As the residential educational institutions were working under different departments, he directed the officials to bring all the institutions under one umbrella.
The Chief Minister felt that residential schools which were being operated by SC/ST/BC/Minority and other departments were having their own way of functioning, different curriculum, menu, mess charges, budget among others. But, hereafter all schools should adopt uniform code of conduct.
Currently, there were 668 residential schools in the State functioning under different departments. All the 1,190 residential schools should follow social welfare residential system. The Chief Minister said until fourth class, the students should be under the watch of parents and accordingly his or her education should take place in the village itself and residential system would begin after fourth class.
Irrespective of caste and religion, admissions should be given to the poor pupils.KCR felt that hostels allotted for minority students were not on par with their population. Of the total 3,000 hostels, only 21 were minority hostels. Therefore, one residential school and hostel should be established for minorities in every district, he said.
