A few days after Maharashtra stopped its three -language policy for primary schools, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday made it clear that his government supports two language formulas for school education. Talking to reporters at Mysuru, Siddaramaiah said, “We are for two language policy. My government is committed to it.”
The Chief Minister’s remarks come at a time when they are revived in the states by debating language policies in schools. The attitude of Karnataka indicates a firm priority to limit the medium of instructions in two languages, which align with the state’s long -term approach to school education.
The BJP -led Maharashtra government recently withdrew two government proposals, which aims to present Hindi as a mandatory third language for students from class 1 to 5. This rollback debated debate on language policies in schools in many states.
In the schools of the State Board of Karnataka, students in the current structure need to learn two languages up to class 5. From class 6, Hindi is introduced as a third language. By class 8, students are given flexibility to choose their first language from Kannada, English or Sanskrit. If a student chooses Sanskrit as his first language, Kannada becomes mandatory as the third language.
Despite the National Education Policy (NEP), Karnataka has officially rejected it and is in the process of drafting its state-specific language policy.
The state Congress has openly supported the decision to abandon the compulsory inclusion of Hindi, arguing that students should be encouraged to embrace regional languages instead. In a post on X, the party said, “The linguistic diversity of South India is a vibrant tapestry, which weaves languages like Kannada, Kodava, Tulu, Konkani, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and many more.
This increased resistance linguistic linguately refers to widespread concerns about implementing a size-fit-all language policy on the diverse field.
