Kerala’s chief minister, V.D. Satheesan, delivered a speech at an alumni meet of Panangad High School, his alma mater, where he recounted the role the institution played in developing his ability to speak English publicly. The gathering was formally opened by Kerala High Court judge Devan Ramachandran and saw the presence of ministers N. Samsudheen, Roji M. John, V.E. Abdul Gafoor, MP Hibi Eden, and Deputy Speaker Shanimol Osman among others.
The ceremony took place on Sunday, September 13, at the Panangad High School campus in Kerala. Satheesan highlighted that the English foundation he received at the Malayalam‑medium school enabled him to deliver speeches later in his career, including a lecture at Harvard University. He also noted that after completing his schooling, he joined SH College and initially felt an inferiority complex when hearing peers converse fluently in English, but the rigorous grammar instruction he received gave him confidence.
Satheesan’s remarks underscore the importance of strong language instruction in Kerala’s education system, particularly in schools that teach in regional languages. By attributing his public speaking confidence to the school’s curriculum, he emphasized the broader impact of quality teaching on the state’s future leaders and citizens.
