The contributions made by volunteers and eminent personalities towards the educational development of the region are invaluable. The prominent educational institution in the Panchayat, Kalpakancheri Government Vocational Higher Secondary School, was established in 1958. M.A. Mooppan donated the land required for the high school. Under his leadership, a committee collected ₹10,000 from local residents and another ₹10,000 from the block administration to construct a five-classroom building.

In earlier times, Othupallis (traditional learning centers) where religious and secular education were imparted together existed in many parts of the Panchayat. These institutions later paved the way for establishing primary schools.

The oldest formal educational institution in the Panchayat was the Kalpakancheri Paleth G.M.L.P School, established in 1902 under the Malabar District Board. Later, schools such as Parappuram G.M.L.P School, Kanancheri G.M.L.P School, and Airani G.M.L.P School were established.

The present Randathani G.U.P School was initially founded by Kizhakkepuram Muhiyaddeen Pallikkal Thangals and later shifted to Randathani. Likewise, the institutions run as “Mollakkamar Othupallikoodams” later evolved into Thozhanur West A.M.L.P School and Thozhanur East A.M.L.P School.

To promote women’s education, a Government Board Mappila U.P School exclusively for girls was established at Kalpakancheri Mele Angadi. This later became Kalpakancheri Government High School. Subsequently, the L.P section was separated and Kalpakancheri G.L.P School was formed. Later, institutions such as Manjachola G.M.L.P.S, Thozhannur M.A.L.P.S, and Kazhingalparambu Chinakkal M.S.M Higher Secondary School were also established.
