Hyderabad, January 31, 2025 — In a significant stride towards modernizing its education system, Telangana is set to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) driven reforms aimed at enhancing foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) among primary school students. This transformative initiative is a collaborative effort with the EkStep Foundation, a Bengaluru-based organization renowned for its innovative digital learning solutions.

Innovative Partnership

A high-level delegation from Telangana, led by Dr. Yogita Rana, Secretary of Education, recently visited the EkStep Foundation to explore the potential of AI in revolutionizing the state’s educational framework. The delegation’s visit marks the beginning of a concerted effort to integrate AI tools that can provide personalized learning experiences tailored to the unique needs of each student.

Learning from Success

Inspired by the success of Kerala’s AI-driven educational improvements, Telangana aims to adapt and contextualize these best practices to suit its educational landscape. “Our goal is to leverage AI to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment,” said Dr. Rana. “By focusing on foundational literacy and numeracy, we can ensure that every child has the skills they need to succeed.”

Empowering Educators

A key component of this initiative is the enhancement of digital literacy among teachers. By providing educators with advanced training and resources, the state hopes to empower them to utilize AI tools effectively in their classrooms. This will not only improve student outcomes but also foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation among teachers.

Community Impact

The AI-driven reforms are expected to have a far-reaching impact on the local community. By improving the quality of education, the state aims to boost overall literacy rates and equip students with the skills required for the future workforce. Additionally, the initiative is set to bridge the educational divide, ensuring that children from all backgrounds have access to quality education.

Looking Ahead

As Telangana embarks on this ambitious journey, the state’s commitment to leveraging technology for educational excellence is clear. By integrating AI into its school education system, Telangana is poised to set a new benchmark for educational reform in India.
