Sep 02 2014 : The Times of India (Delhi) NO TRANSLATION - CBSE Urdu students dont have syllabus, exam dates Maria Akram New Delhi: This year, Urdu syllabus and examination schedule are missing from the diaries of CBSE students. Officials admit the syllabus couldnt be printed as translation hasnt even begun. “The syllabus and annual examination schedule of Urdu language is printed in diaries published by Delhi Bureau of Text Books. Unfortunately , this year, it hasnt been printed. Online support material is also missing from the official website of DoE,“ said Asad Ghazi of Nawa-e-haque welfare association. Ghazi said when he requested officials to upload the support material and distrib ute handouts of the syllabus, they had no answer. Shashi Kaushal, managing director of Delhi Bureau of Text Books said, “The material never reached us for printing. If anyone is at fault, it is from the education department.“ Department officials admitted that the Urdu syllab us couldnt be sent for printing, though all other subjects were. “The course has seen many changes and the syllabus couldnt be made as it had to be done week-wise. Even the books became available recently and the kids started a bit late on Urdu. Once the syllabus is ready, we will give it for printing,“ said a senior official. Even if it is completed and approved, new diaries with the syllabus will not be reprinted. “We will upload the material online and also give printouts,“ said the official. Ghazi said material for all other subjects was provided.“In some schools, kids arent even taught Urdu as there are no teachers or maybe they dont want to recruit them.There is some conspiracy . Every year, the syllabus is provided and only this year it hasnt been translated yet. The department couldve easily hired a translator from outside.“ Officials maintain that there is no conspiracy and shortage of staff is a general problem.
