Like last year, this year’s State School Sports Meet is being held on the lines of the Olympics. This time, 22,000 children are participating. A key feature of the event is that around 2,500 children with disabilities are also participating alongside other students. The Minister stated that the decision to hold the event in the Olympics format is based on the idea that opportunities create talent, and the government’s aim is to provide the best possible opportunities. The Minister also promised the students that their request to consider the participation of Gulf students in the State School Arts Festival would be considered and communicated later.
The participating group consists of students from five Kerala syllabus schools in the Gulf region. The team includes 34 boys, 5 girls, and 8 teachers, totaling 47 people. The students are competing in Football, Basketball, Badminton, and Athletics across the Junior, Sub-Junior, and Senior categories.
