Schools Habsiguda, Hyderabad Bhashyam High School

Can a class 4 child with no Telugu cope at Bhashyam High School, Habsiguda?

My uncle's family is moving to Habsiguda from Aurangabad next year, and since I've lived here for some years they've asked me to look into schools. Their son will be entering class 4. At home they speak Hindi and Urdu, and he has never studied Telugu. Bhashyam High School in Habsiguda is close to where they'll be living. I'd like to separate what people know from experience from general impressions, so please say which is which. My main questions are how a child starting Telugu from scratch in class 4 usually copes in a state board school here, and whether families in that situation arranged support outside school.

I can't speak about Bhashyam specifically, so this is general. For a child joining in class 4 without any Telugu, I'd want to know how the school handles the gap in the first year: whether there's any bridging or if he's simply expected to catch up. The tradeoff is that state board might mean more Telugu across subjects than a CBSE school, but I'm not certain that's true here. Worth asking at the visit rather than assuming either way.

Uppal side here. Daughter's 16 now. Starting Telugu in class 4 with zero background is tough but doable. Ours had a Telugu tuition sir in class 5 and 6, twice a week, and by 7 she was managing on her own. Not about Bhashyam though, no idea how they do it 🤷

  Did the tuition get her reading and writing comfortably, or mainly through the exams? We're weighing the same thing for my daughter's Telugu and those seem like two different goals.

  That is the distinction I'll put to my uncle: passing the paper versus actually being able to read. Thank you both. I'll also ask the school directly what support, if any, exists for students joining from outside the state, and report back once I have their answer.
