CM Jagan says that his padayatra gave inspiration to introduce reforms in the education system in the state. “I have witnessed the heartbreaking reality in our state where children are unable to attend school due to poverty. This was evident during my padayatra. I was born to fulfil the dreams of these underprivileged individuals. I understood the aspirations of a poor mother who dreams of a bright future for her children. This led us to establish English medium schools, transitioning from CBSE to IB in government education. We introduced various measures such as TOEFL training in government schools starting from the third grade, Byju's content, and digital teaching from the sixth grade, providing tablets to students in the eighth standard,” said Y S Jagan in Vizianagaram on Day 21 of Memantha Siddham campaign.
Speaking of further achievements, Jagan said, “Today, we have extended educational and accommodation benefits to 93% of children pursuing higher education. We have revamped the curriculum, integrated certified online verticals from foreign schools into our degrees, and made internships mandatory in our degree programs. These initiatives stem from the dreams of those children and the plans of my elder sister and children.”
