The Story in Brief
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy announced on Thursday that government teachers will get foreign study tours every year, and lashed out at the Bharat Rashtra Samithi for demanding he give up the education portfolio. The Hans India reports the CM said this while interacting with delegates of the Finland and Germany Exposure Programme.
He claimed enrollment in government schools rose by one lakh due to breakfast and mid-day meal schemes, and that the government spends Rs 1.08 lakh per student compared to Rs 50,000 in private schools. Revanth Reddy also criticised PM Modi for India's debt, saying it has grown from Rs 50 lakh crore before 2014 to Rs 201 lakh crore now. He instructed authorities to prepare an action plan report by December.
The Indian Opinion
The CM's announcement of foreign study tours risks being seen as a gimmick unless followed by measurable improvements in classrooms. The enrollment spike may stem from mid-day meals rather than quality teaching. The debt attack on PM Modi, while factually stated, lacks context of GDP growth. Both the ruling Congress and opposition BRS are playing politics with education. The real test will be the December report on cluster-level action plans and whether they lead to better learning outcomes.
