Telangana government schools are introducing French to offer opportunities for global learning.
The French language has been adopted in the state of Telangana's public schools administered by the Telangana Social
Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TSWREIS) and Telangana
Tribal Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TTWREIS). With the
help of the French Institute in India, the French language has been introduced
in government schools.
French will be introduced in about 20
TSWREIS and TTWREIS-affiliated schools as part of a pilot program. It will be
extended to other institutions in accordance with student interests. Classes 5
through 12 will be instructed on it. As part of this partnership, communicative
French training for TSWREIS and TTWREIS instructors will be provided by the
French Institute (IFI). Students will also have access to its academic and
cultural platforms. IFI will hold workshops and seminars to educate students
about studying at French universities and available scholarships.
Official Statement: For students in TSWREIS and TTWREIS institutions, we see learning French as one such turning point in the State of Telangana. According to Dr. E. Naveen Nicolas, secretary of TSWREIS and TTWREIS, "This relationship will go a long way in the fields of cultural and linguistic interaction, as well as offering larger and newer doors for our students.
An understanding of international languages
can improve one's job, educational, and travel options as well as provide
exposure to cultures around the world, according to a formal statement made in
this regard. Giving students access to this knowledge in secondary education
can even change the way they shape and construct their lives, it was
emphasized.
