History
The first model school in the state was opened at Thegada in Kasimkota mandal in Visakhapatnam on 22 June 2013 by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Kiran Kumar Reddy.
The Model School scheme aims to provide quality education to talented rural children through setting up 6,000 model schools at the rate of one school per block as a benchmark of excellence. The scheme has the following objectives:
The scheme envisaged setting up 3,500 schools in as many educationally backward blocks (EBBs) through State/UT Governments, and a further 2,500 schools under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode in blocks which are not educationally backward. The State Sector component for setting up of model schools in EBBs was implemented from 2009-10. The implementation of the PPP component for setting up model schools was initiated from 2012-13, however, the Ministry subsequently decided to undertake a review of this component before proceeding further.
At present 163 schools are running in Residual Andhra Pradesh state after the separation of Andhra pradesh state into Telangana and Andhra pradeshstate.
The School
The school is modeled on Kendriya Vidyalaya and aims to provide free and quality education to children in the state.
