NEW DELHI: <a class="gmail-key_underline" href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Public-School">Delhi Public School</a>,
Mathura Road, has withdrawn a circular it had sent to parents of Class
VI students, asking them to make appropriate curricular changes
considering the <a class="gmail-key_underline" href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Central-Board-of-Secondary-Education">Central Board of Secondary Education</a>'s "<a class="gmail-key_underline" href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/new-language-policy">new language policy</a>".
<br>
<br>
After the circular was issued on March 2, parents pointed out to the
board that the school was planning to implement a policy that was still
at the proposal stage with the ministry of human resource development.
<br>
<br>
Acting on the complaints, a <a class="gmail-key_underline" href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/CBSE-team">CBSE team</a> was sent to the school, following which a new circular was issued on March 8 withdrawing the earlier document.
<br>
<br>
A senior CBSE official said, "When the issue was brought to the notice
of the board a team visited the school and as the school was intimated
that CBSE had not issued any notification on language policy as
mentioned in its circular dated March 2, the school withdrew the
circular unconditionally and regretted it. The school will follow the
existing scheme of CBSE."
<br>
<br>
Under the plan in question, a student will have to take up three
Indian languages listed in schedule VIII of the Constitution, one of
which can be English. All three languages would be main subjects in the
Class X board exams.
