Unaided school syllabus to be unified in Kerala
Last Updated: Malappuram (Kerala), Aug 4 (PTI) The syllabus of unaided schools in Kerala will be unified from next academic year, state General Education V Sivankutty said here on Monday.

The minister was speaking after inaugurating a new building built at Rs 3.90 crore fund from the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB). Sivankutty further said that collecting donations for first grade admission is against the norms of the national education policy and that unaided school managements should pay fair salaries to teachers. view comments First Published: August 04, 2025, 18:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
