Kerala Government makes Malayalam compulsory subject in schools
The Government clarified that students from other states studying in Kerala schools are exempt.
The ordinance, to be effective from the next academic session, applies to schools affiliated to the state, CBSE and ICSE boards.
It says that schools that do not comply will lose their NOC.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan claimed that in some schools in the state, speaking Malayalam is against the rules.
He said that such rules cannot be allowed and ordered a fine of Rs 5,000 against the principal of one such school.
