GSHSEB makes correction in Class 9 new syllabus, includes omitted languages – Times of India

It seems that the lockdowns during the pandemic period have not only inflicted learning loss to only students, but the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) also suffered learning loss. In a recently issued circular on the Class 9 syllabus, GSHSEB had forgotten to mention languages such as Urdu, Persian, Arabic, and Sindhi. The circular mentioned only the Sanskrit language. Persian and Sanskrit are classical languages, while Urdu and Sindhi are scheduled languages that are spoken.
After the school management’s reminder, the board on Tuesday made changes in the old circular on the new syllabus of Class 9 and included the languages it had omitted in the old circular.
School administrators were baffled by this omission and had written to the board seeking clarification on these languages. The letter by the school management association said that these are languages which are being taught in the schools in Class 9 and exams are also conducted.
The letter said that they are confused as the languages were omitted in the circular by mistake or the teaching of these languages is discontinued. The letter asked the director of the board to clarify and if a mistake has been made then to correct it by issuing a revised circular.
The school administrators had said that the academic year has already started, and the schools have started teaching these subjects. This circular has created a lot of confusion and can adversely affect students’ learning.
Clearing this confusion, the board reissued the circular which has Sanskrit, Persian, Arabic, Sindhi, and Prakrit languages as optional subjects.
“School management association had written to the board seeking clarification on the omitted languages. The board has made a clarification on our confusion in the new circular,” said Mubin Kazi, the principal of Ankur School in Ahmedabad. When asked why the board has not mentioned Urdu in the old and reissued circular, Kazi said that the board has never mentioned Urdu in their past circulars, but the language is taught, and exams are conducted.
“This year, 108 students had taken Urdu as an optional subject in Class 10,” Kazi said.
