Kerala bans sharing study-notes on WhatsApp Kerala bans sharing study-notes on WhatsApp: The Kerala Directorate of Higher Secondary Education has issued a ban on the sharing of study materials via social media platforms such as WhatsApp. The decision is aimed at ensuring that the learning process remains classroom-centered and not diluted by external digital resources. The order explicitly prohibits both sending study notes over social media and printing them afterward.

Regional deputy directors have been tasked with conducting regular inspections of schools to ensure these new rules are being followed, as confirmed by Higher Secondary Academic Joint Director Suresh Kumar . This decision follows a period during the COVID-19 pandemic when digital learning was widely adopted due to the closure of schools. Although online classes were helpful during that time, concerns raised by parents—leading to a formal complaint to the Child Rights Commission—prompted the Directorate to re-evaluate the practice.



As a result, principals of higher secondary schools are now instructed to stop teachers from distributing notes through digital platforms, encouraging students to engage in more traditional methods of learning instead.

However, there are strong reasons why traditional handwritten notes remain the most effective method for students.
