Tamil Nadu appoints former ISRO scientist Mylswamy Annadurai to lead a committee tasked with overhauling the state board school curriculum. The effort focuses on redesigning the existing syllabus so students are better prepared for modern challenges and changing technological developments. Multiple reports say the committee is expanded to 17 members and includes educationists and academicians, with an additional profile reported from outside the education sector.
According to the outlets, the committee’s mandate is to align the curriculum with the state’s forthcoming education policy, which is scheduled to be released in August 2025. The committee also works to address learning gaps identified in the current system and to incorporate feedback from stakeholders as part of the redesign process.
The reports further indicate that the panel is set to function for a fixed period of three years beginning from the date the government order is issued. The leadership change follows the departure of the earlier convenor, Sultan Ahmed Ismail, with Annadurai taking over as head of the curriculum design exercise.
