In a bold education reform move, schools in Kerala are replacing traditional back-bench seating with U-shaped classroom layouts to foster better engagement, inclusivity, and peer interaction. The pilot program has already been implemented in over 300 government and aided schools.
🏫 Why the Change?
Traditional bench arrangements often lead to unequal attention — front-benchers dominate while back-benchers fade.
U-shaped seating ensures all students are visible to the teacher and each other, promoting active discussion.
Encourages a democratic learning environment, improving focus, curiosity, and collaboration.
💬 What Officials Say
According to Kerala’s education department:
“The U-shape fosters eye contact, removes student hierarchy, and transforms classrooms into collaborative learning spaces.”
Schools also report reduced behavioral issues, more equal participation, and stronger student-teacher rapport.
