The central government must immediately review its decision of having abruptly changed the third language which was being taught in classes VI-VIII in 500 Kendriya Vidyalayas of the country, and it must stop playing with the careers of thousands of students.
It is beyond any reasonable understanding that around 70,000 students who have been studying German as a third language since last three years have now been forced to study a new language barely four months before their final examination.
It is shocking that the union human resources development ministry, which has consistently been in the news for all wrong reasons since the BJP central government assumed office in May this year, has once again imposed a mindless decision detrimental to the students interests.
Even if the Board of Governors of the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan headed by HRD minister Ms Smriti Irani wanted to reverse any decision taken by the previous UPA government for whatever reason, it should atleast not have acted in such undue haste which has left the students and their parents shocked.
The Aam Aadmi Party demands that the central government must not implement this decision for the current academic session atleast, and students of classes VII and VIII who have been studying German as third language must be allowed to retain it.
