The Cabinet on Wednesday decided to give approval to additional 97 temporary higher secondary batches in the six districts from Palakkad to Kasaragod to address the shortage of Plus One seats in Malabar.
The batches have been sanctioned in government and aided schools in Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod districts.
This will make available an additional 5,820 Plus One seats in Malabar – 3,420 in government schools and 2,400 in aided schools, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty said at a press conference here on Wednesday.
