No need for uniforms on school celebration days

Uniforms will henceforth not be mandatory to school on days on which festivals such as Onam, Christmas, and Ramzan are celebrated.

The Director of General Education has issued a circular in this regard.

Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty who announced the decision in a social media post addressed to students, parents, and teachers said he had received many requests from students to allow relaxation in school uniform on days in which Onam, Christmas, and Ramzan celebrations are held in schools. The demand was found valid and it was decided that students need not wear uniforms on days when these three festivals are celebrated in schools.

The Minister also expressed hope that this would create more joyful and colourful school memories.
