AP will be the first state to implement the CBSE curriculum in government schools
CBSE syllabus has already been rolled out for class 8 students in CBSE affiliated Government schools and will be extended to class 9 students in the 2023-24 academic year and class 10 students in the 2024-25 academic year.
CBSE curriculum has always been restricted to private schools and Central Government-run CBSE and ICSE schools. CBSE students are said to have an advantage in national-level entrance exams as most national-level examinations are based on the CBSE syllabus. Given the benefits of CBSE, the AP School Education Department applied for CBSE affiliation for 1300 schools, of which 1000 received approval.
