Virtual reopening of Kerala Govt and aided schools on June 1 – Times of India

In view of the prevailing Covid-19 conditions, the school opening festival ( Pravesanothsavam) would be held online. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan would inaugurate the reopening festival. This would be followed by school level festivals. The functions would be telecast on KITE Victers, the state’s education television channel, using which the general education department has been providing digitally recorded classes to students from class 1 to 12, since the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic.

“The classes to be telecast on the Victers channel during the initial days would focus on programmes aimed at boosting the confidence of students who won’t be able to attend regular classes till the Pandemic is over. There would be modules to help students to brush up their knowledge base. It would act as a bridge course for students who have been promoted to higher classes”, the minister said.

There were different views on conducting examinations for the promotion of Plus One students to Plus Two. A report comprising various factors in this regard has been submitted to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. CM is expected to take a final decision, considering various factors, the minister said.

SSLC answer paper valuation camp would be held from June 7 to 16 and the process is expected to be complete by June 25. The government has already announced the decision to drop SSLC and THSLC practical examinations this time, the minister said.
