German Vs Sanskrit
Why in news?
Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) decided to use
Sanskrit as a third language in schools of Kendriya Vidyalaya (KVs) in place
of German language.
The decision to discontinue German was taken after the meeting of Board of
Governors of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS).
The meeting was headed by Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani.
[German, which was taught as an option to Sanskrit, has now been made an
additional subject or hobby class (not a third language) for students from classes 6 to
8.]
Aftermath:
The decision is expected to affect about over 70000 students across 500 KVs
from classes 6 to 8 who will be asked to switch from German to Sanskrit.
However, students will be given an option to pick any Indian language of their
choice as annual exams are barely three months away.

Flashback:
German was taught as a third language from classes 6 to 8 in KV schools after
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between KVS and
Goethe InstituteMax Mueller Bhawan in 2011.
However, the MoU was not referred to HRD Ministry at any stage.
Earlier at the start of 2014, Sanskrit Shikshak Sangh had moved the Delhi
High Court alleging that KVS had introduced German as a third language in
place of Sanskrit against the education policy.
The three language formula as enunciated by the National policy on
Education states and subsequently by the National Curriculum Framework
2005 states that Sanskrit may be studied as a modern Indian language apart
from Hindi and English.
Though the HRD Ministry had said that not teaching Sanskrit as third
language in KV schools is the violation of the Constitution and National
Policy on Education and have even launched an investigation on the MoU
signed between KVS and Goethe Institute in 2011, however, critics see it
otherwise.
