Thiruvananthapuram: Schools reopened in Kerala Monday but the monsoon rains kept away and the children escaped the usual drenching. Around five lakh children took their first steps to 6,802 schools in the state.
Monsoon breaks when schools open in the state, almost possibly on June 1, but this time though it set in earlier, the rains kept away.
The Directorate of Public Instruction, however, said that the number of students enrolling was declining every year. Around 47 lakh of students enrolled themselves from first to tenth standard, they said.
As part of reformation in the syllabus, IT education was extended to 'upper primary' schools, the sources said.
The distribution of the revised text books was in progress. The state-level inauguration (of revised text books) was held at Peerumedu in Idukki district
