Tamil Nadu schools all set to start the day with exercise. The TN Education Minister KA Sengottaiyan put out a tweet urging Chief Educational Officers to take this idea forward.

The TN Education department is also set to introduce weekly English training sessions for students in government. This move is to bring better opportunities and career options for the students. Tamil Nadu Government schools introduced English as the medium of instruction in 2012-13. Starting January, 90-minute English training classes will be introduced for the students.

The circular bringing this move into effect is yet to be issued but the schools are now working on how to implement this move.

The Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University said that the initiative was to ensure physical movement. Exercises to relieve muscle soreness and improve ones flexibility.

The idea is to introduce light exercises which can be done even inside a classroom if the sun is extreme.
