By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, NOV. 25. A full-fledged Navodaya school will shortly be set up on a 25-acre expanse in Thiruvananthapuram.

A pressnote from the office of the Speaker, Mr. M. Vijayakumar, said that admission to the first batch of students to the sixth class would commence soon. Admission is on the basis of an entrance test conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education.

The classes would temporarily be held at the Government Girl's High School in Pettah until the building establishment is ready. Each batch would consist of 80 students.

A special aspect of the school is that the management committee takes care of all educational expenses of students from economically weaker sections from their sixth to the 12th class.
