Willkommen: Children of a Beed village greet visitors in fluent German
The HinduOn a hot Friday morning at a government upper primary school in Maharashtra’s drought-hit Beed district, over two dozen students from Classes VII to IX are seated on colourful mats on the floor of their classroom, eagerly waiting for the clock to strike 11. “At a time when Marathi medium students are struggling to speak English fluently, our students are honing their German language skills,” says Vikas Mahendra Pardeshi, the school’s headmaster. Kids in Maharashtra village school are learning German Last November, Mr. Pardeshi was scrolling through his Facebook feed when he chanced upon a video of Mr. Jadhav teaching German. Mr. Jadhav readily agreed and our first online class began on November 26 last year,” the headmaster says, adding that classes are held every Tuesday and Friday. “We are proud that we are able to offer this unique training to our students,” Mr. Pardeshi says, adding that classes for the new batch of 50 students will begin on April 1.
