Not many know that there are higher secondary schools
offering journalism education in Kerala. Students aspiring to become
journalists and mass media professionals can get their first taste of the field
at school level. In
Kerala, academic journalism and media studies education began over three and a
half at Universities of Calicut and Kerala. Only post graduate courses were
offered then. However, over the last decade, a number of undergraduate journalism
courses sprouted in various colleges under state universities.
Journalism is also offered as a subsidiary subject along with many
undergraduate programmes in Communicative English, English Language and
Literature and Malayalam.
In Higher Secondary Schools, journalism is offered along
with three different combination of subjects:
Combination 1. Sociology, Journalism, Communicative English,
Computer Applications
Combination 2. Journalism, English Literature, Communicative
English, Psychology
Combination 3. Social Work, Journalism, Communicative
English, Computer Applications
Majority of the
schools are in Malabar area, with Kozhikode and Malappuram leading the list. On
the other hand there are no schools offering journalism education in many
Travancore districts like Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha and Kottayam. It may be
also noted that there are very few graduate and post graduate level journalism
and mass communication courses in Travancore districts, especially those under
University of Kerala like Pathanamthitta, Kollam and Alappuzha, when compared
to Malabar districts.
Schools offering the first combination include (co-education
unless otherwise specified):
