TEC Hearing Highlights Gaps in Telangana's Intermediate Education
Imagine a meeting where people talked about how to improve schools for older kids in Telangana.

Also, some private schools aren't doing a good job.
Parents said school is too expensive, and there's not enough help to choose what to study.
