Kerala’s General Education Minister V. Sivankutty has proposed a public discussion on whether the government should adjust the academic year-end vacation schedule for schools, considering the concerning loss of class time due to climate change-induced weather fluctuations, particularly intensified monsoons and the accompanying risk of floods and rain havoc.
Mr. Sivankutty told a press conference on Thursday (July 31, 2025) that education experts had repeatedly flagged the worrying loss of study days caused during the school reopening phase in June, when the monsoon sets in in Kerala.
