Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 18 (PTI) CPI(M) leader and former Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty on Saturday urged the state government to declare a holiday for all schools on Monday in view of the FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain.
In a Facebook post, Sivankutty said the final, scheduled to begin at late on Sunday night, was expected to continue into the early hours of Monday, making it difficult for students to reach schools on time.
Considering the circumstances, he requested the government to declare Monday a holiday for educational institutions.
Sivankutty suggested that the lost working day could be compensated by declaring a Saturday, that is otherwise a holiday, as a working day.
He urged the government to take an urgent and favourable decision on the proposal. PTI TBA TBA SA
