Kids at Himachal Pradesh govt schools to learn English from Class 1
SHIMLA: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Virbhadra Singh on
Monday announced that students at all government schools in the state would be
taught English from Class 1 from the next academic session. Besides this, Math
and Hindi, too, would be taught as mandatory subjects to children.
"The state government has decided that subjects like English, Math and Hindi would be mandatory in all government schools from Class 1. We are also considering the option to start Punjabi and Urdu classes from middle schools onwards, provided a batch of more than 30 to 40 children were interested to take up the subject. Then, teachers would be made available accordingly," said Singh.
He also added that the practice of not conducting exams for students from Class 1 to Class 8 and assessing them by grades is not good.
While referring to the issue of abandoned domestic animals, the chief Minister said it was against our tradition to abandon domestic animals when they grow old or fall sick, particularly cows.
