He said funds would not be a constraint in improving infrastructure facilities, providing training to teachers and others in the government schools, according to an official release.

'Government Aims To Improve Educational Standards'

He instructed officials to ensure that every student who joins a government school gets a quality education, it said.

Reddy, who held a meeting with officials on education in view of schools reopening on June 12 after the summer vacation, asserted that the government aims to improve educational standards in the state-run schools.

Reddy emphasised that skill development and a platform to excel in their chosen field should be provided from the high school-level.

In view of the growing urbanisation in Telangana, the education department should establish schools in coordination with the municipal administration department.

Such schools should be established in plots of government land which have been identified to be used for social causes, he said.

The CM also directed that the educational institutions being run for SC, ST, BC and minorities should be rationalised to ensure that they have a specified number of students.
