Political transitions significantly influence educational outcomes in developing economies, yet empirical evidence linking regime changes to enrollment patterns remains limited. The paper explores political governance and good educational results in Andhra Pradesh(2013-2023) in two different governments: Telugu Desam Party (TDP, 2014-2019) and Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP, 2019-2023). We analyzed primary and upper primary enrollment patterns by applying log-linear growth models, compound annual growth rate (CAGR) analysis, paired t-tests and Gender Parity Index (GPI) computations based on secondary data from U-DISE. The research pitted TDP’s technology-first approach against YSRCP’s infrastructure-based Nadu-Nedu scheme. Primary enrollment increased from 0.03% yearly under TDP rule to an average of 4.01% during YSRCP (p<0.01), upper primary enrollment growth reversed from a household -4.68% drop to a +1.13% (p<0.01). Female enrollment showed a more robust positive response (4.23% vs. 3.84% for males) with an improvement in GPI from 0.914 to 0.932 (p=0.023). Infrastructure financing had tangible enrollment effects, though post-2021 sustainability issues also arose. Geopolitical upheavals have profound effects on the political economy of educational access which is evidenced in its policy statements and distribution of resources. Integrated infrastructure interventions are more efficacious than piecemeal technological upgrading in settings of basic deficits, substantiating the role of gender-sensitive infrastructure in enhancing equity.
