Andhra Pradesh has consistently grappled with a literacy rate below the national average. However, in the latest Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Report released in January 2024 by the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Andhra Pradesh topped the National Educational Accessibility parameter, surpassing Kerala, long celebrated for its educational achievements. In this parameter, AP outperformed Kerala with a score of 38.5.
Andhra Pradesh’s initiatives in school education, such as the implementation of schemes like Nadu-Nedu for upgrading school infrastructure and the Amma Vodi program providing financial aid to mothers for their children's education, have significantly contributed to these advancements. Additionally, the government’s focus on digitizing classrooms, training teachers, and promoting English as a medium of instruction has further enhanced the quality of education.
