Former Education Minister V Sivankutty has voiced significant concerns regarding the delay in forming a new Cabinet in Kerala, which he claims is severely impacting the Education Department's operations. In a recent Facebook post, he highlighted that the absence of a presiding minister has created a leadership vacuum, leading to confusion over the announcement of Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) results, which are crucial for many students and parents. With the new academic year approaching, essential tasks such as ensuring the safety of school buildings and the timely printing and distribution of textbooks are at a standstill, risking delays and inefficiencies. Sivankutty also noted the challenges facing the Samagra Shiksha Kerala (SSK) initiative, emphasizing that past funding from the Union Government had been secured through active ministerial engagement. Without leadership, these educational sectors are stagnating, threatening the systematic progress previously achieved. He calls for immediate intervention to restore functionality to the Education Department.
