Kerala to Reduce Class 10 Syllabus by 25%
The Kerala government has decided to reduce the syllabus for Class 10 students by 25% starting from the next academic year.
This decision was made because students often complain about having too much work to do.
The Education Minister, V Sivankutty, announced this change after approving it with the curriculum committee.
He also mentioned that the content of the textbooks will not be changed, only the amount of material will be reduced.
Additionally, the minister was at an event where a new house named 'Mithun Bhavanam' was given to the family of a student named Mithun, who sadly passed away after an accident at his school.
The house was built by the Kerala State Bharat Scouts and Guides without taking any money from students, and it cost Rs 20 lakh to build.
