Schools in Tamil Nadu are about to commence. The Tamil Nadu Nursery Primary Matriculation Higher Secondary Association on Tuesday wrote to Tamil Nadu School Education Minister Sengottaiyan to provide transparency on schools resuming in the state and asked for details of the syllabus that had been removed by The Tamil Nadu government. It recently formed an expert committee to decrease the syllabus of school textbooks by 40% in the plight of the coronavirus pandemic. Minister Sengottaiyan on September 18 said that the School Education Department had reduced 40% of the syllabus based on the recommendations of the expert committee.

In the letter he wrote, Nandakumar, state general secretary of Tamil Nadu Nursery Primary Matriculation Higher Secondary Association stated, "We are conducting classes so that the children do not forget the lessons but we do not know when schools will reopen, the government should announce the syllabus reduced by them for classes 1 to 12. They should announce page-wise details of omitted topics, since the delay in releasing the list has put the syllabus for the current year into question.”

While some private schools have been managing online classes due to the lockdown, Nandakumar said, “There is no clarity on the quarterly, half-yearly and annual exams. The parents and private associations are bewildered over Class 10, Class 11 and Class 12 public examinations. The government should provide clarity on the omitted syllabus to reduce the stress.” The association also urged the state government to issue a government order promoting students to go back to schools for clarifying doubts, in line with the Union government’s policy.
