The Telangana State Education Commission: A Bureaucratic Approach to Educational Reform |

Abstract:

The Telangana Education Commission aims to reform the state’s education system in response to privatization and unequal access. This paper critiques the bureaucratic tone of Government Order (GO) 27, which outlines objectives like linking pre-primary with primary education and improving skills across levels. However, the commission’s reliance on flawed assessments, such as the National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021, and its focus on market-driven skills in higher education, limits its broader educational goals. Concerns over limited academic representation, private funding, and the commission’s two-year tenure suggest the need for a more inclusive, academic approach.
