In a meeting on Monday, the CM of Andhra Pradesh Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy asked officials in the Ministry of Education to work towards establishing an International Baccalaureate curriculum at government schools after thorough study. While assessing the activities of the education department, he pointed out that a study should also contain measures to introduce AIAI as an additional course in higher education.
“The study should be designed to prepare students for world class products that reflect the changing trends in scientific, technological, business, research and economic domains,” said Reddy’s statement.”
He said that the CM wants young people from the state to be respected in the world, because unlike TDP which “neglected” them, YSRCP has tried to improve their creativity. According to officials, the foundation courses will be introduced in the final semester of higher education through the establishment of centers of excellence for research in AI. In addition, the aim is to develop world class curricula for teaching, evaluation and research.
Reddy advised officials to add more topics in Artificial Intelligence, with the assistance of internationally recognized intellectual resources like the International Bureau and introduce these courses on a trial basis prior to their full implementation. The authorities informed the CM that over 1 lakh students had enrolled in huge open online MOOCs to learn about 1.5k courses and earn 5,000 credits.
Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s proactive approach aims to enhance Andhra Pradesh’s education system. The proposal for an International Baccalaureate curriculum and the integration of Artificial Intelligence courses underline a commitment to prepare youth for a rapidly evolving global landscape. This initiative showcases YSRCP’s dedication to fostering innovation and creativity, with plans to introduce foundation courses and AI research centers in collaboration with esteemed organizations like the International Bureau. These steps have the potential to elevate the global reputation of Andhra Pradesh’s students as future leaders in diverse fields.
