Schools reopening late due to the Coronavirus issue could create many issues for both teachers as well as for the students. At this juncture, the TN state is thinking of reducing the syllabus for the school students.

There were many representations from private and state-run schools because the teachers felt that they would not be able to cover all the portions of the school reopened by August. This has now led to the idea of syllabus reduction.

Truncating of the syllabus was on cards and a decision about this would be taken by an expert committee. This was according to Mr. K. A. Sengottaiyan, school education minister. 

It has been brought to light by a senior official belonging to the Directorate of School Education that parents as well as academicians were against the early reopening of the schools. He explained that the Centre must be given permission for schools reopening even though the TN government decides to open the schools.
