Schools to reopen on June 5

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, MAY 30. Schools in Kerala will reopen after the summer vacation on June 5 and not on June 1, as announced earlier.

A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of representatives of teachers' organisations, convened here today by the Minister for Education, Mr. P. J. Joseph.

Delay in fresh admissions due to census duty and DPEP training for teachers has necessitated postponement of the re-opening of schools, the Minister said.

The last date for school admissions has been extended to June 5, he added.

A notification allowing parents to admit their wards in the second to the seventh classes in unrecognised schools, after giving a declaration, has been issued.

This would facilitate admission in recognised schools, without having to produce a transfer certificate, in due course, the Minister said.
