Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu, called for significant reforms in the education system during Teachers' Day celebrations. He emphasized the government's goal to achieve 100% literacy by 2027, stating that courses from school to higher education must be restructured to meet future requirements. Naidu highlighted the crucial role teachers play in preparing students for emerging challenges, urging them to introduce students to emerging fields like AI, quantum technology, robotics, and data analytics.

Despite growing technology, Naidu stressed that teachers cannot be replaced and that students must also be equipped with values, culture, patriotism, and love for nature. He called for practical learning outside the classroom and suggested developing schools into unique brands. Naidu proposed that students should start learning AI from Class VII and began using technologies like Clicker and AI Tutor to transform teaching methods.

The Chief Minister stressed the importance of sports, nature, yoga, and meditation in students' overall development, suggesting Saturday as 'No Bag Day' for tree plantation and other experiential learning programs. He emphasized aligning the education system with industrial requirements and urged teachers to shape students into future leaders, stating that India could regain its position as Vishwaguru only through their efforts.
