telangana Telengana Chief Minister, K. Chandrasekhar Rao wants to take a relook at the future of model schools in the state as the scheme introduced by the Centre earlier was either rejected by some states or not implemented by certain states.

The issue came up during a review meeting that was presided by the CM, on Tuesday. In order to reform the education sector and bring in a new policy, Mr Rao directed the Deputy CM Kadiam Srihari and Chief Secretary Rajiv Sharma, to take up an all-inclusive study to bring supervision of all types of education institutions under one umbrella.

During the review meeting, the CM observed that the present education system was lacking in providing students with employment and was eventually making them unemployable, when they come out of college. He suggested that the new policy to be framed should keep in mind the employability aspect.

He also handed over the supervision of all types of educational institutions to the Education Department, making exception to medical, agricultural and pharmaceutical institutions.

He felt that supervision of different types of institutions by different departments was making the whole concept of education confusing.

The lack of proper supervision of various types of educational institutions was making imparting education incomprehensive, he felt. Besides, he observed that the students were not being prepared to suit the employment needs as the State and Central governments focused only on the employment tests held by the Public Service Commissions.
