In all, 22,710 students were felicitated with Jagananna Animutyalu Awards across the State. 

Addressing the students and their parents before giving away the awards here on Tuesday, the Chief Minister described the rankers as bright minds and shining stars who are the future of AP.

Profusely congratulating the rankers, he said Government has introduced reforms in educational sector aiming to turn the students into global products equipped with balanced and matured thought attaining the knowledge of emerging and future technologies such as artificial intelligence, data management, machine learning, Chat GPT and other subjects. 

Our students should not be the just followers of emerging technologies, they should become the technology leaders, he said, adding that quality education is required to achieve this goal.  The day is not far off when our students will rule and command the world, he remarked.

He said it is a matter of pride for all that girls are 24 and 22 among 42 top rankers in class 10 and 26 top rankers in Intermediate respectively. 

Emphasizing that students and parents should change in tune with the fast changing educational system across the globe, the Chief Minister called upon them to aim at reaching higher echelons. He also asked the non-rankers not to get disappointed but aim at big targets.

“We have changed the face of education in Government schools with more facilities through Nadu-Nedu, CBSE syllabus and English medium, bilingual text books with Byjus content, modern curriculum, content-loaded tabs to students of class 8, subject teacher-concept from class 3 and digital teaching from class 6,” he said, adding that training is being imparted to class 3 students for TOEFL certification with the sole aim of making them attain best communication skills.   

In order to prevent the poor families from falling into debt-trap because of the children’s educational pursuits, Government has been implementing programmes like Amma Vodi, Jagananna Vidya Kanuka, Vasathi Deevena and Videshi Vidya Deevena and these schemes have boosted up the self-confidence of the students and their parents across the State, he observed.

We need to do more in the educational sector like changing the examination system and introducing the IB syllabus at the school level to ensure that our students attain number one positions in their respective fields and become perfect global leaders, he further said.  

Stressing that all students should at least complete graduation, the Chief Minister said that reforms have reduced drop-out rate and Government schools have reached a stage wherein corporate schools are trying to compete with them. 

“Like your maternal uncle, I will do more for you with the blessings of God,” he said, assuring students that Government would stand by them in pursuing their educational ambitions.
