All Malayalam letters should be thorough to students of Class I by the end of an academic year, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
The Minister told mediapersons here on Tuesday that following demands from various quarters, the Malayalam alphabet had been included in school textbooks. The alphabet would be part of children’s education. It was the duty of teachers to teach children the letters and make them thorough by the end of Class I. However, there was no need for a special direction for this.
