Telangana (in particular Hyderabad) has the highest educational attainment
levels – this is given by the lowest fraction of „only primary level‟ achieved and
the highest fraction of those with „at least a higher secondary education‟.
Telangana also has a larger number of high schools and higher secondary
schools and higher enrolment in these as compared to the other two regions
(Para 3.4.06). At present, there is greater demand for higher education in
Telangana districts as compared to agriculturally prosperous districts of coastal
Andhra. The higher demand reflects the catch-up process from a lower base and
could be correlated with improving income levels in several Telangana districts.
At the same time, reservation and fee reimbursement policies have enabled
many first generation learners from SC/ST/BC categories to enter college
education. Such students (and their parents) have extremely high aspirations of
getting decent employment, preferably in the public sector.
