Karnataka SSLC Third Language Policy Under Scrutiny

Thaawarchand Gehlot has asked for a detailed review of concerns about a recent decision taken by the Karnataka government. The decision is about how students are evaluated in the SSLC (Secondary School Leaving Certificate) exams.

The government has decided that for the third language subject, students will be given only grades instead of marks. Also, these grades will not be added to the total score of the exam. This change has raised questions and concerns among students, parents, and teachers.

Because of these concerns, the Governor has asked officials to carefully study the issue and provide a full report. The aim is to understand how this decision may affect students and whether any changes are needed.

Some people believe that this move could be the first step toward introducing a two-language policy in schools. Under such a system, more importance may be given to only two main languages, while the third language may become less important.

Overall, the situation is still under review, and further decisions will depend on the report and discussions that follow.
