Kudallur: Educational Facilities

The village has five schools, two of them private. They are
1, AJB School Kudallur,
2, GBLP School Kudallur,
3, GUP School Kudallur,
4, Al Hilal English Medium School Kudallur (private),
5, Sandeepani English Medium School Kudallur (private)

The first two schools offer education for standard 1to 4. GUP School has 5, 6 and 7 standards. The last two schools offer classes from 1 to 10. Kudallur depends outside for higher education. Most of the students prefer Thrithala High School, Thrithala for High School studies. Govt. VHS School Vattenad and Govt. HS School Mezhathur are the next options. Some of the parents - especially those who are working abroad- like English medium schools for their children. For inter-mediate (Higher Secondary and Vocational Higher Secondary) education the village goes to near towns such as Kuttipuram, Kunnamkulam, Koottanad, Pattambi and Edappal. A lot of parallel institutions work at these towns. They entertain a large number of students. Wisdom College Kumaranellur is the pioneer institution in parallel field.
Students from Kudallur depends SNGS Arts and Science College Pattambi, MES College Ponnani, MES Engineering College Kuttipuram, all the colleges in Thrissur city, some of the colleges of Malappuram and Kozhikode districts for collegiate education. Now a day a considerable number of students of the village go to distant districts and other states. Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Coimbatore, Trichy and Mysore are the places of attraction for professional education.
But, one of the many new trends in the educational concepts of the village causes a great concern. The new English medium schools pose threat to the Government schools. In the case of AJB School, it taught seven or eight generations. But the flow of students- even the children of low- income families- to the new schools made the student strength of the AJBS low. Now it struggle to survive. GUP School also faces this threat.
Even then, the fact that village is 100% literate is a matter of joy.
