Japanese language in CBSE schools.
in Current Affairs & Latest News
"Ohayou gozaimasu"/"konnichi wa". That could be how senior secondary students of CBSE greet each other soon. And the Japanese equivalent of "good morning" or "hello" would not be the only words they will mouth, as the Central Board of Secondary Education has decided to introduce the language as an elective in its affiliated schools from the next academic year.

CBSE introduced Japanese in class 6 in 2006-07 and later extended it to the next higher class each subsequent year.

    It is a good initiative. But is there any special reason why japanese language has been given privilege?

    In my sense we have to introduce international languages in CBSE schools.

    Learning too many languages does not help. We need to stress learning and use of English, Hindi and the concerned regional language. There should be specialized institute for learning other languages and CBSE need not concern itself with this task. It will be better that CBSE concentrates on improving overall skills in English, Hindi, life sciences and humanities to enable students do better in higher university and technical studies.

    Reason behind it may be economy of Japan being the strongest after US. I work for a Japanese Software company and there i can see kind of projects that come in.

    i think we should mainly focus on English, Hindi and our mother tongue rather than going for foreign languages.There are still lots of people struggling to communicate in English.

    So we will have to study many languages in near future.

    This is not compulsory. The post says this is 'elective'.
