Thiruvananthapuram: The Department of General Education in Kerala has instructed teachers to stop sharing study notes with students, including those in Higher Secondary classes, via social media platforms like WhatsApp. The directive comes after the Joint Secretary of the Higher Secondary Academy issued a circular in response to a complaint filed with the State Child Rights Commission.

Some parents had raised concerns with the Commission, citing the financial burden caused by the need to print study materials shared online. In response, the Commission directed the General Education Department to address the issue.

The circular notes that while online education and sharing of study materials were necessary during the pandemic when schools were closed, continuing this practice now may negatively affect students’ overall learning experience.
