Schools to offer foreign language as fourth or fifth language from 2018

India Today  

From the year 2018, foreign languages such as French and German may not be a part of the three-language formula and will be offered as a fourth or fifth language in schools. Under the National Education Policy, the three-language formula requires students in Hindi-speaking states to learn a modern Indian language, apart from Hindi and English, and in non-Hindi-speaking states, to learn Hindi along with the regional language and English. However, a majority of the 18,000 affiliated institutions offer the mother tongue or Hindi, English and a foreign language such as German and Mandarin up to Class 8. Last December, the CBSE had sent the proposed three- language formula for secondary education to the HRD ministry setting off speculation over if as to when the new scheme would kick in.
