Good to see center-state coordination on education! LEAP initiative sounds promising - hope other states can learn from AP's model. Education is the real foundation for Viksit Bharat 🇮🇳

As a teacher from Visakhapatnam, I've seen LEAP's impact firsthand. Digital classrooms and teacher training have improved engagement. But implementation needs to reach rural areas faster! 🏫

Why only praise Andhra? Many states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu have excellent education models too. Center should adopt best practices from ALL performing states, not just BJP-friendly ones.

Hope this isn't just photo ops! Both ministers must ensure proper funding reaches government schools. My cousin's school in Guntur still lacks proper toilets after 3 years of 'transformation' promises 😔

NEP 2020 + state innovations like LEAP = perfect combo! But pls focus on mother tongue education too. English medium shouldn't mean neglecting Telugu and other regional languages.

Appreciate the effort but education quality depends on teachers' salaries and infrastructure. My daughter's ZP school has 1 teacher for 60 students! First fix these basics before 'world-class' dreams.
