Hyderabad: The Read Understand Progress programme launched in Khammam by District Collector Anudeep Durishetty has strengthened foundational learning across government schools and set a new benchmark for early-grade education. Moreover, the initiative aims to improve reading, comprehension and learning skills among students from Classes 1 to 5.
The administration assessed 28,982 students across 958 government schools to identify gaps in reading and comprehension. As a result, teachers gained a clear picture of specific learning needs. Officials said the data helped staff plan focused interventions, and many children who once struggled with basic concepts are now making steady gains.
