Kerala will reduce Class 10 syllabus by 25% next year to alleviate student workload, says Education Minister Sivankutty.
Kerala Education Minister V. Sivankutty on Saturday (January 31, 2026) said that the syllabus in Class 10 textbooks will be reduced by 25% from the next academic year.
The Minister was addressing students after handing over the keys of a house constructed for the family of Mithun, a student who died after being electrocuted at Thevalakkara Boys High School in Kollam last year.
Mr. Sivankutty said students frequently complain about the heavy academic workload, and considering this, the State government decided to take necessary steps.
"In next year’s school textbooks, 25% of the syllabus will be reduced from what exists in the current books. The curriculum committee has already approved the decision," he said.
