Career guidance programme for students
The higher secondary Career Guidance and Adolescent Counselling Cell will organise an orientation programme on May 13 for students who have completed Class X.
The programme 'Focus Point' will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in all higher secondary schools (HSS) in the State. Students and parents can attend the programme at the nearest HSS.
Students who have completed Class X have options such as 46 subject combinations across Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams in higher secondary; vocational higher secondary; technical higher secondary; diploma courses; and polytechnic courses to choose from. The subject combinations in higher secondary can take students to nearly 25,000 higher education courses. This makes it imperative for them to know and understand the subject combinations in each stream, a statement from the guidance cell said.
Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty will perform the State-level inauguration of the orientation programme at Government Higher Secondary School for Girls, Cotton Hill, Vazhuthacaud, here at 9.30 a.m. on May 13.

Everyone should be an eco-warrior: Minister
Everyone should become an eco-warrior, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said. He was speaking after performing the State-level inauguration of 'Kalpakam' under the higher secondary National Service Scheme here on Thursday. The Minister called for spreading the message of loving nature as one would love their nation. He reminded students that climate change, deforestation, floods or drought, and the problem of waste were affecting daily lives of not only others, but our own too. Just as Kerala was a model for others in the area of education, it should emerge the leader in environmental conservation too. Efforts to create environmental awareness among students were being made in government and aided schools through initiatives such as Haritha Vidyalayam, activities of the Suchitwa Mission, anti-plastic campaigns, and popularising organic farming. Students should go beyond knowledge of the environment contained in textbooks and experience things themselves so that they can become protectors of nature, the Minister said. He underlined the need to ensure that all initiatives of the department were green. From new buildings to everyday activities, everything should be implemented in a eco-friendly manner, he said.

Minister slams Lakshadweep administration for ‘removing' Arabic, Mahal languages from school curriculum
Kerala General Education Minister V. Sivankutty on Wednesday slammed the reported decision of the Lakshadweep administration to remove Arabic and Mahal languages from the school curriculum of the Union Territory and said it is 'deeply disturbing' and deserves the 'strongest condemnation.'' This move, taken under the guise of implementing the National Education Policy (NEP), blatantly contradicts the Union government's professed commitment to promoting mother tongues and regional diversity in education, he said in a statement. By denying Lakshadweep's children the opportunity to learn their own language, the Centre is violating the constitutional rights of linguistic minorities. By doing so, it is undermining the very pluralism and inclusiveness that define our nation, the senior Left leader said. ''Language is not merely a medium of communication. It is a carrier of identity, history, and culture. The systematic erasure of native languages through education policy is nothing less than an assault on the cultural fabric of our society,' Mr. Sivankutty said. The Minister recalled that the Government of Kerala had earlier raised strong concerns about the underlying intent and direction of the PM SHRI project and the broader NEP framework. 'Our decision to oppose its implementation in the State was based on precisely such apprehensions--that centralised policies would override regional, linguistic, and cultural realities in the name of standardisation,' he said. Pointing out that education is a subject in the Concurrent List of the Constitution, the Minister said both the Centre and States have a role in its governance. 'Any attempt by the Union government to unilaterally impose educational directives that marginalise local languages and cultures is a clear case of overreach and must be resisted,' he said. Expressing strong solidarity with the people of Lakshadweep on this issue, Mr. Sivankutty urged all democratic forces, educators, and civil society organisations to raise their voices against this 'linguistic injustice' and to demand an immediate reversal of the decision, the statement added.
