AP students from Class 9 to 12 visit US on educational tour

A group of 10 young students from Andhra Pradesh met and interacted with officials from the United Nations as well as faculty and executives at US and global institutes during an educational tour to the country, an experience the children described as “memorable,” enriching and inspiring.

As part of south Indian state Andhra Pradesh's mission towards “a transformative journey to revamp its school education system, aiming to mould students into future-ready, global citizens,” the Department of School Education sent



a delegation of 10 students from grades 9 to 12 on an educational tour to the US from September 15 to 28.

The tour was designed to give the young meritorious students a broader perspective on global sustainability and the educational landscape around the world, according to a statement.

For the study tour, the children were selected from among 30 shortlisted candidates out of 103 meritorious students who had secured the highest marks in SSC Public Examination 2023 from across all Government schools.
