The school education department has sanctioned ₹111.37 crore to transform government higher secondary schools, one in each of the state's 414 blocks, into 'Vetri Palligal' that will offer career counselling and intensive coaching to help students crack competitive exams.

- SUBASHINI VIJAYAKUMAR @Chennai

In the first phase, 236 schools will be developed at a cost of ₹54.73 crore. The initiative is part of the efforts to ensure that more than 2,000 government school students secure admission to premier higher education institutions every year.

A key feature of these 'Vetri Palligal' will be weekend support classes for classes 11 and 12, where interested students will receive coaching for exams such as JEE, NEET, CLAT, CUET and IPMAT, among others.

District Model Schools will act as academic hubs, providing study material, career guidance and academic support to these centres.
