KARIMNAGAR, JUNE 12, 2024: The Telangana State Council of Educational Research and Training (SECERT) which has published the new textbooks for the government school students for the academic year 2024-25 says that Chief Minister of state as K Chandrashekhar Rao and Education Minister as Kadiam Srihari in the foreword published in all the textbooks which were distributed to the students on Wednesday, the first day of reopening of schools after summer vacation.
It was surprising to note that the SCERT officials have printed the new textbooks without removing the names of former CM, education Minister and other officials. Though, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has took charge as the new CM of Telangana state in December 2023, but the SCERT authorities are yet to wake up from the slumber sleep.
The state government took several measures to distribute the textbooks on the first day of reopening of schools. But the SCERT authorities, who publish the books have not taken care any measures to include the name of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and other officials. The students, who collected the books were shocked to notice the publication of name of KCR as CM of Telangana state.
Following the spread of the news, the DEOs and other officials have instructed the headmasters of respective schools to stop distribution of textbooks till the foreword was removed and reprinted with A Revanth Reddy as the Chief Minister of Telangana state.
