CBSE DECIDES
TO DO AWAY WITH ‘DUAL LANGUAGES’ FROM NEXT ACADEMIC SESSION
The Central Board
of Secondary Education has decided to do away with the options
of core and elective languages at the senior school examinations
for all languages except in English, Hindi, Sanskrit and Urdu.
As per the revised policy, the
schools will offer all languages under a single mode of ‘Language
and Literature’ except English, Hindi, Sanskrit and Urdu. In fact,
this will remove the persistent confusion amongst schools and
students. The move will also be at par with many State Boards
with regard to the regional languages.
This information
was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development,
Dr. Vallabhbhai Kathiria in reply to a question in the Lok Sabha
today.
