Following the decision taken by the state government, the schools in Andhra Pradesh will be introducing the CBSE syllabus for classes 1-7 from the academic year 2021-22. The curriculum will be extended to higher classes year-wise with classes 8, 9, and 10 to come under the model by 2024.
The decision was taken at a review meeting on Mana Badi-Nadu Nedu, headed by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at his camp office in Tadepalli on Wednesday. Speaking at the meeting, the Chief Minister directed the concerned officials to complete the construction of 390 schools in the state that currently do not have pucca structures.

Stating that the first phase of Nadu-Nedu must be completed by March-end and the schools should have good interiors and designs, the Chief Minister hinted at more changes in the second phase. He warned that action will be taken against those found guilty of compromising on the quality of the works being implemented under the scheme.
