The Rajasthan state education department has decided to give options to government school students to opt for a third language.
According to an order issued on Friday, if any upper primary school have 10 or more than 10 students willing to learn a third language, then a third language teacher will be appointed.
The order is said to be a big relief after controversy on an earlier order of the state government in 2020 in which the government allowed students to study only one subject of the third language which is available in the schools.
This severely questioned the relevance of Udru, Sindhi, Punjabi, and Gujarati languages as by default only Sanskrit is available in government schools.
Now, the government has taken the earlier order back and has decided to promote appointments of minority language teachers.
