Abstract

Although Kerala and New Zealand can't be weighed in one balance, there are certain striking similarities between the two. Firstly both Kerala and New Zealand have exceptionally high rates of school literacy. Secondly the geographical diversity of both lands which comprises of rivers, lakes, mountain ranges, beaches and the long stretch of coastal belt and last but not the least ferns and rainforests. Besides the above a relatively zero discrimination for education based on gender and global recognition on the tourism map are some of the other commonalitiesbetween the two. Having said that either parties have a lot of opportunities to replicate each other's success stories and one among them is the school based initiative by Kerala police called Student Police Cadet or in short SPC.
