It’s a matter of joy for every villager that the Govt. Upper Primary School Kudallur has been upgraded to High School. The decision of upgrading was announced by VS Achuthanandan, the Chief Minister of Kerala on 8th September 2010 after the state cabinet meeting in Thiruvanathapuram. The up-gradation is under the central government project Rastriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA). From the next academic year onwards the school will be known as Govt. High School Kudallur.
It has been a dream of the people of Kudallur and nearby areas for a long time to get a High School within their immediate reach. The nearest High School as of now, for them are Dr. KB Menon Memorial Higher Secondary School, Thrithala (the old THS Thrithala) and Govt. Higher Secondary School Anakkara. Vattenad GVHSS and GHSS Mezhathur are the next options. The calm and beautiful landscape of GUPS will now offer its blessing to more students. The students from Kudallur, nearby areas like Kumbidi, Manamakkav and the places on the other bank of Nila such as Perasannur and Mankeri will be benefited from this up-gradation.
Earlier, the demand for a High School was stronger in the village. Later, when transport facilities improved and new generation schools became established, that demand grew weaker. Kudallur Vikasana Munnani (Kudallur Development Front) had put forth the demand for the up-gradation of school. It was in 1995-96 period.
Anyway, a school is rightly appreciated for its caliber and the need for a high school in the area is recognized now.
