Quality education reforms in tune with changing times are essential to equip students to compete at the global level, General Education Minister N. Samsudheen has said.

Speaking at the State-level inauguration of the General Education department’s ‘Special Enrichment’ programme at Government Higher Secondary School, Meppadi, in Wayanad, on Monday (September 28, 2026), the Minister said the initiative was aimed at supporting students who face educational setbacks owing to geographical difficulties and mental stress.

The comprehensive programme seeks to ensure quality education for all and promote equity and equal opportunities in education. It aims at the academic empowerment and holistic development of students studying in government schools in Adivasi, coastal and plantation areas.

The State-level inauguration was held in Meppadi with a particular focus on children from the Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslide-affected areas, Mr. Samsudheen said.
