Kerala Minister: Class 10 Syllabus Cut Won't Remove Core Content

• Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty clarified that the 25% Class 10 syllabus reduction will not affect core content.
• The move aims to reduce content load, avoid repetition, and ensure age-appropriate learning, not weaken academic standards.
• The decision follows student complaints about heavy workload and has been approved by the state curriculum committee.
• Sivankutty also announced the handover of a house built by Bharat Scouts and Guides for a student's family in Thevalakkara, Kollam.
• Wider reforms are underway, including lighter school bags and 'democratised classrooms' to create a child-friendly environment.

Why It Matters: Kerala's Class 10 syllabus reduction focuses on streamlining content without compromising core academic standards.
