Study Three Languages At School

India is a secular democracy comprising of people having faith in different religions and speaking different languages. Above all English is gaining good ground as one of the link language at national and international stage. Students of urban as well as rural areas have been going to live or travel throughout the length and breadth of the country on business, trade, tourism, education or professional requirements.

As different languages are spoken in each region, so the three language formula for school teaching, has been proving a boon. The three languages studied by students at school not only help better communication and understanding among people but also promote national integration. Therefore, the three languages study in their schools will go a long way in promoting national interests among the citizens and strengthening India.

To study Three Languages At School

“All work and no play makes Jack dull boy.” A kid at the age of three is sent to study at school. There the kid gets the lessons in English, a language mostly not spoken at home. In his high school, he is taught Sanskrit due to three language formula. This language is not spelhen publicly.

Most of the students settle in life in their native places and hardly get any chance to move out to the places where they can find the utility of the second and the third language they have studied at school. The time and labour spent by them could have been better used for imparting the know-how of one or the other professional skills. Every where one can see the school passouts, doing petty jobs for earning their livelihood. Of what use, they find having studied the two additional languages at school ? Of course it is a more wastage.
