Kerala High School Timings Extended – New Schedule Effective from June 11, 2025

The Kerala Education Department has announced a significant revision in the school timetable for high schools and higher secondary classes. Beginning June 11, 2025, all such institutions across the state will follow an extended schedule from 9:45 AM to 4:15 PM. This change has been implemented with the intention to streamline academic activities and provide ample time for syllabus completion.

New School Timings in Kerala: At a Glance

Who Does This Apply To?

• High School Students (Classes 8, 9, and 10)
• Higher Secondary Students (Plus One & Plus Two)
• All government, aided, and unaided schools under the Kerala state syllabus

Why the Timing Was Revised

  The extended schedule was introduced for several reasons:

•  To allocate more instructional hours per subject
•  To reduce the rush in covering portions and revision
• To align school hours across different managements
• To give teachers more time for interactive and activity-based learning

What It Means for Students and Parents

✔For Students:

1. Longer school hours mean better syllabus coverage and more support time
2. Students must now adjust morning routines to arrive earlier
3. Co-curricular and lab sessions may now be better integrated

✔For Parents:

1. Need to rearrange transportation or drop-off/pick-up schedules
2. Adjust home routines, lunch planning, and tuition timings
3. Use this opportunity to encourage early rising and preparation

🗣Mixed Reactions from the Public

While many teachers and school administrators have welcomed the move, citing better academic efficiency, some parents have expressed concerns:

“The timing extension seems helpful academically, but working parents may find it hard to adjust pickup routines,” said a parent from Thrissur.

“We now have enough time to complete practicals and discussions,” said a higher secondary teacher in Ernakulam.

 

📌 Tips for Adjusting to the New School Timing

• Set your alarm 15–30 minutes earlier than before
• Pack lunch with more care, as students stay longer
• Ensure all materials and notebooks are packed the night before
• Double-check school transport availability or changes
• Use extra class time wisely – ask doubts, revise, and participate

When Will the New Timings Start?

• Effective Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2025
• Applies to: All Kerala syllabus high schools and higher secondary schools

Students and parents are advised to check with their school authorities for any school-specific instructions or arrangements.
