HYDERABAD: Move over English, coding in Telangana’s government schools will now be taught in Telugu, in a new move that could see scores of students queuing up to learn the programming language in their mother tongue.
Authorities said with students who are not well-versed in English and shying away from learning this skill, it has been decided to start courses in Telugu to encourage youngsters.
“As a pilot, we will start the programme in 50 schools in the coming academic year. Soon, it will be extended to all other schools in the district,” said Vijaya Kumari, district education officer (Medchal-Malkajgiri district) where the project will be kick-started.
