Telangana’s Chief Minister Revanth Reddy directs officials to prepare for replacing the current Intermediate structure with a 10+2 education system starting in the 2027-28 academic year. The plan would reposition Classes IX to XII in a way that treats Classes XI and XII as part of the higher education band while emphasising skill development.

All three outlets describe the move as a restructuring of how higher grades are governed within the education system. Times of India and The Hindu both frame it as government action requiring steps by officials, including special consideration for IX to XII standards as higher education. NDTV focuses on the intention to treat upper secondary classes as higher education and link the change to skills and education quality.

Across coverage, the common element is the 2027-28 timeline and the shift from an Intermediate model to a 10+2 structure, alongside goals around improving learning and strengthening the education framework. Details such as infrastructure and school strengthening are highlighted more explicitly by some outlets than others.
