Three schools in Varkala becoming high-tech
Rising school structures should not eat into students’ play spaces, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
He was speaking at the inauguration of multi-storey school buildings constructed at Government Higher Secondary School, Navayikulam, and Kizhakkunela Lower Primary School and laying the foundation stone for a multi-storey building at Government MLP School, Pulloormukku, here on Tuesday.
With this, three schools in the Varkala Assembly constituency have joined the list of public schools that have been raised to international standards in the district.
The Minister said teachers would be provided residential training as part of efforts to improve students’ academic levels.
V. Joy, MLA, presided over the function.
The three-storey school building at Government HSS, Navayikulam, has seven classrooms, six laboratories, and toilets. A total of 390 students study in six batches in the school.
