The Department of School Education in Telangana may be outdated and not functioning effectively. The government is hesitant to make changes despite the National Education Policy-2020 pointing out issues with the current centralized system.
The NEP-2020 highlights that having one body, like the Department of School Education, handle all aspects of education governance can lead to conflicts of interest and too much power in one place. This can result in poor management of the school system and a focus on regulation over quality education. Additionally, the policy mentions how private schools in Telangana exploit parents with high fees, showing the need for reform.
To address these issues, the Department of School Education will focus on monitoring and policymaking instead of running schools or regulating them. This change aims to improve public schools and eliminate conflicts of interest within the department.
The Directorate of School Education and its line officers will handle the day-to-day operations and services for public schools in the state. The DSE will work independently to implement educational policies effectively.
