Hyderabad, March 4 (RAHNUMA): Representatives of the Telangana Save Education committee on Wednesday demanded the state government to place the report titled “Education policy in Telangana – 2026” in the public domain before finalising the policy. It has been a long standing democratic tradition for the commissions and committees to release draft reports for public discussion before finalising policy decisions, the committee noted.
It may be recalled that the Revanth Reddy government had appointed the Telangana Education Commission to prepare a comprehensive education policy for the state. Recently, the Commission submitted its report titled “Education Policy for Telangana – 2026” to the Chief Minister for necessary action.
The President and Secretaries of the Telangana Save Education Committee — Prof. K. Chakradhhara Rao, Prof. G. Haragopal, and Prof. K. Laxminarayana — have demanded that the government place the report in the public domain for at least three months before finalising the policy.
The Committee cited the example of the National Education Policy, when a draft document titled “Challenges of Education” was released for nationwide discussion. Suggestions and recommendations were invited from parents, educationists, teachers, lecturers, students, and various sections of society. The consultation process continued for nearly two years before the policy was finalised. The Ministry also published the opinions received from associations and social groups in special booklets.
In light of this precedent, the Telangana Save Education Committee has urged the government to place the Telangana Education Commission Report before the people of the state — particularly parents, teachers, educators, and students — and finalise it only after incorporating constructive suggestions and criticisms.
The Committee reiterated its demand that the government allow a minimum three-month period for public discussion before giving the report its final shape.
