Impact on Educational Reforms
Critics feel that all of the progressive education reforms initiated by Andhra Pradesh—Nadu-Nedu, Gorumudda, English medium schools, transitioning from CBSE to IB, learning TOEFL from Class 3 onwards, and digital learning programs—were watered down or mishandled by the current government. The cutting of initiatives like Amma Vodi, helping mothers to send their children to school, has also been criticized.
The former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has called for free re-correction of answer papers for everyone who desires it without paying any fee. He also desired a short-term suspension of admissions on SSC marks until the outcome of the final results is announced. Aside from that, he demands that the responsibility of the blunders be lodged on the shoulders of Education Minister Nara Lokesh and taking steps against the culprits.
