Education Minister V Sivankutty said that free kits and books will be provided to all students, new space for school buildings and education with all facilities will be ensured. No more school building in the disaster area. A suitable place should be found for it. In case of a natural disaster, a magnificent building will be constructed. For this, the technical experts will be communicated with. Sivankutty said that ideas will be accepted from the public.
Landslides have affected six schools in the region. Vellarmala GVHSS School was the worst affected. The school is completely destroyed. Two schools need to be rebuilt. Children should be counselled. That is the importance. Students can pay attention to studies only if their mood is right.
The high-level meeting in Kalpatta is on Tuesday. Prior to this, the Chief Minister called me and spoke to me. The suggestion was to resume education in the distressed areas as soon as possible. Since it has been decided to build a township, there will be an outline of schools along with it. Actor Mohanlal expressed his willingness to build a school.
Instruction was given to print textbooks. Textbook printing will target not only these schools but also students in rain-affected areas. It will take more printing than expected. All students will be given a school kit. The kit will have everything including a teapot, drinking bottle and umbrella. The government is ready to provide the kit.
Steps will also be taken to ensure uniforms for the students. For those who have lost their SSLC, plustwo and birth certificate, the counter to get it back will start there. Sivankutty said that after all the applications collected from the counter are delivered to Thiruvananthapuram, certificates will be distributed.
