New Delhi: Union human resource minister Prakash Javadekar on Wednesday stated that the government will not impose or burden any particular language on students.
“We want people to learn more and more languages,” the minister told reporters a day after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)’s governing body recommended three language formula (like Sanskrit) be continued beyond Class 8 to Class 10.
He said the government will implement the three-language formula in schools based on the recommendations by the Kothari Commission with the only exception with states like Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
Commenting on CBSE’s governing body approving restoring of Class 10 board examinations from the next academic session, 2017-18, the minister pointed out that at least 15 lakh students appear for class 10 examinations.
