Special Chief Secretary (School Education) B. Rajasekhar has said that the World Bank (WB) has extended an unconditional loan of $250 million to the Supporting Andhra’s Learning Transformation (SALT) project in appreciation of the path-breaking reforms implemented by the State government.
Addressing the media at the Secretariat, Mr. Rajasekhar said that the reforms initiated under the SALT project had brought about a paradigm shift in the way education was imparted and that the outcomes had been encouraging. Besides, the facilities in schools were vastly improved under the Nadu-Nedu programme to provide an atmosphere that was conducive for teaching and learning.
The SALT is the first project in the school education sector to be funded by the World Bank without any precondition.
