Under the collaboration, the French Institute will train TSWREIS and TTWREIS teachers in communicative French. It will also give students access to its cultural and academic platforms.

He said the Telangana government and France share a similar philosophy of education, which emphasizes the importance of preparing students for success in a globalized world.
