AP Education System Achieves Milestone: Approves Partnership with International IB

The AP Cabinet has made an important decision to help poor students succeed globally. In a meeting led by CM Jagan in Amaravati today, many important topics were discussed. As a part of this, the Cabinet approved the inclusion of the International Baccalaureate (IB) in SCERT. CM Jagan, who has already made significant changes in the education system, is introducing another big change. The ‘International Baccalaureate’ (IB) syllabus, usually studied by wealthy children in private schools, will now be available to students in government schools.

Big Changes with IB

The introduction of IB education is a major change. Normally, studying in an IB school costs around Rs. 4 to 5 lakhs per year. However, the AP Cabinet, under CM Jagan’s leadership, has approved IB’s inclusion in SCERT, changing the educational landscape of AP. This move will not only benefit rich students but also enhance the communication skills of poor students at an international level. Education experts believe that this change will help poor students compete globally and secure high-paying jobs.
