Haryana to Introduce French and German in Government Schools

The state government of Haryana has approved the addition of French and German as optional foreign‑language subjects in its government‑run schools. The announcement, reported by The Times of India, marks a new step in the state's education policy.
The new language options will be made available from the upcoming academic session. Schools are expected to recruit qualified teachers and prepare teaching materials to support the programme.
Education officials said the move is intended to broaden students' linguistic capabilities and better prepare them for higher studies and employment opportunities that require proficiency in foreign languages.
The decision aligns Haryana with a growing number of Indian states that are expanding foreign‑language instruction in school curricula.
