About Kerala State Open School

Ten years have elapsed since the Kerala State Open School was constituted, with a goal to explore the realms of Distant Education. Distant Learning forms an integral part of education in recent times. Global analyses make it evident that there is a general human tendency to stay away from day - scholarship. This is chiefly due to a host of factors like constant flux in life style, social instability, the desire to amass wealth and the readiness to get employed at an earlier stage. The tendency above stated, could be easily identified among Keralites as well. Though Kerala has won laurels for universalising literacy within the state, it does not have much to offer when it comes to ‘opportunity level’. Though minimal in number, there are aspirants among the youth, who are denied access to formal education. It is in this context that the relevance of an institution like the Kerala State Open School gets highlighted. At present, the Kerala State Open School focuses on the Higher Secondary level, stressing upon private registration and its allied procedures.
