Badibata to mark repoening of schools across Andhra Pradesh today
Vijayawada: As the 2025-26 academic year begins on Thursday, schools across Andhra Pradesh are buzzing with excitement. Following instructions from State IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh, the education department has made elaborate arrangements to mark the reopening day with a grand celebration. As per the official date, a total of 58,950 schools, including 44,617 govt schools, 13,249 private recognized schools, and 84 private-aided schools, will simultaneously reopen on Thursday. To welcome students back, the govt has launched a statewide programme called 'Badibata.' As part of this initiative, teachers will greet students with enthusiasm and provide them with specially prepared school kits containing textbooks, notebooks, uniforms, shoes, belts, and other essential supplies. Teachers will also introduce students to the new class curriculum through orientation sessions. In addition to the festivities, the education department is taking steps to address the issue of school dropouts. Headmasters and class teachers will conduct a review of admissions and dropouts, verifying how many new students have joined and investigating reasons behind any withdrawals. A week-long school dropout survey will also be conducted, where teachers will visit students' homes to understand the cause of absenteeism and counsel parents to re-enroll their children. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I lost my wife, now my son is in danger, please help him!
