The Andhra Pradesh government will no longer procure Byju tablets

The Andhra Pradesh government will no longer procure tablets from ed-tech company Byju’s for government schools in the state. AP Education Secretary Kona Sasidhar told TNM that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led state government will redesign the system.

“The previous government preloaded Byju content on the tablets given to students and installed Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) in the classrooms of government schools. Currently, the government is re-examining the entire education model and there is no plan to purchase any more tablets with Byju’s content. We are redesigning pedagogy including computer labs with Personalized Adaptive Learning (PAL) methodology in schools,” he said.

However, the minister also clarified that the Andhra Pradesh government has no plans to replace Byju’s with any other ed-tech company at this time.
