AP CM Jagan who promised to offer corruption-free governance and new reforms has have taken yet another historic decision. He has decided to major changes in the education system.

Going into the details, the AP government has decided to implement the apprentice program for one year for all Degree and Engineering students enabling them to learn skills that fetch them job opportunities. These changes will get implemented from the next educational year reportedly.

Currently, the courser period of Degree and Engineering is three and four years respectively. But the students after completing their courses are failing miserably to get jobs with a lack of required skills leading to unemployment.

The Council of Higher Education is busy making rules and regulations for this new program.

As part of the new scheme, Degree students will have life skill courses in the first and second years. The students will have to take skill-based courses in the last semester of last year.

The Engineering students will anyways have technical courses as part of their curriculum. After completing their course Degree and Engineering students have to do an apprenticeship for one year. The government will pay the fees for these courses during that one year. Along with paying the fees, every student will get Rs 20,000 for food and accommodation expenses.

If the companies offering apprenticeship pay a stipend for the students the government will not give any money. Along with this, the National Skill Development Agency in the state will conduct a district-wide survey and found out the fields that are famous in the region and courses will be introduced accordingly.
