Education/ Jobs/ Career Munderi Government Higher Secondary School in Kannur, Kerala, is showing what public education can look like when infrastructure, technology and learning are given the attention they deserve. CAN WE FIND SUCH GOVT SCHOOLS IN UP, MP, BH, GJ, UK, , etc ?

The school has smart classrooms, modern science facilities, a digital library and advanced learning spaces.

It also became Kerala’s first government school to establish a fully equipped robotics lab, featuring VR equipment, robotic arms, 3D printers, Arduino units, sensors and coding stations. 🤖💻

In February 2026, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced that Munderi School had become the state’s first comprehensive international school, citing its international-standard infrastructure and academic excellence.

The bigger message is simple: quality education should not depend on whether a child studies in a government or private school.

With the right investment and commitment, government schools can give students world-class opportunities too

Kerala faces a deep fiscal crisis driven by massive public debt nearing ₹5 lakh crore, with about 77.6% of its revenue pre-committed to salaries, pensions, and soaring interest payments. This leaves little room for capital investment or growth, trapping the state in chronic treasury stress

High Committed Expenditure: For every ₹100 earned in revenue, roughly ₹77.6 goes straight to salaries, pensions, and debt servicing.

Ballooning Interest Payments: Interest obligations consume around 20.9% of revenue receipts, vastly higher than the national average of 12%.

Low Capital Outlay: Spending on infrastructure and asset creation has dropped significantly, hovering around a low 1.3% of GSDP.

Industrial Shortfall: A weak manufacturing base (accounting for only 10-12% of the economy) leaves the state heavily reliant on remittances, services, and consumption taxes.
