Knowledge of foreign languages can expand one’s view of the world, besides opening new professional and personal opportunities.
Realising that it can boost confidence and increase the self-esteem of students in the State-run schools, the Andhra Pradesh government is exploring the feasibility of teaching foreign languages such as German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin and Korean in its schools, in collaboration with the Hyderabad-based English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU).
Making a step in this direction, Principal Secretary, Department of Skill Development and Training and Commissioner of School Education, S. Suresh Kumar held discussions with EFLU Vice-Chancellor E. Suresh Kumar in the university campus, along with the Director of Andhra Pradesh State Council of Educational Research and Training (APSCERT) B. Pratap Reddy and two faculty members of the Council.
