Kerala Begins Curriculum Overhaul for Higher Secondary Education

In a significant development for education in Kerala, a state-level conference was held in Thiruvananthapuram to kick off the revision of the higher secondary curriculum. The event saw the participation of key educators, policymakers, and curriculum experts from across the state, aiming to align the educational structure with modern standards and learner needs.

This move is part of a broader educational reform strategy by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) to make learning more inclusive, updated, and future-ready. The curriculum revision will also incorporate inputs from teachers and the general public to ensure that every voice is heard in shaping the academic future of Kerala’s youth.

During the conference, experts discussed how outdated syllabi and textbook content often fail to match the current global knowledge ecosystem. Therefore, the new curriculum is expected to include emerging topics, digital literacy, critical thinking, and a multidisciplinary approach — aligning well with India’s New Education Policy (NEP) goals.

This initiative underlines Kerala’s ongoing commitment to education innovation. It also opens doors for curriculum experts across the country to observe and replicate a similar participatory revision model.
