Gujarati to be taught mandatorily in Gujarat schools

The Hindu  

The Gujarat government plans to enact a law to make Gujarati language compulsory in schools for Classes 1 to 8. The government’s announcement came after a remark from the Gujarat High Court which sought a law to make Gujarati compulsory in all schools as a way to preserve the mother tongue. Hearing a PIL, a Bench of Chief Justice Sonia Gokani and Justice Sandeep Bhatt said there was no regulatory framework around teaching Gujarati in schools, particularly private schools where the medium of instruction was English. The State government in a submission noted that 23 schools did not teach Gujarati, whereas 13 did not teach the language as a compulsory subject.
