Hindi will be taught for the first time in California, it will be included as a 'world language' in 2 government schools

A decision has been taken to teach Hindi as a world language in American schools. An important decision has been taken on teaching Hindi language in two government schools in the American city of California, famous as Silicon Valley. The decision has been welcomed by the large Indian American community in Fremont. People living here were demanding that their children be taught Hindi in schools. Fremont, California has the highest number of Indian Americans. In such a situation, the decision to teach Hindi as an optional subject in 2 government schools is being welcomed.

The Fremont Unified School District Board has decided to start a pilot program for the study of Hindi. So on January 17, the vote was taken 4-1. Hindi will be included in the syllabus of Horner Middle School and Irvington High School in the 2024-25 session starting in August.

At Horner Middle School and Irvington High School, 65 percent of the student population is Indian American. There are a total of 29 primary, five middle and five high schools in the entire district. Members Vivek Prasad, Sharon Coco, Larry Sweeney and President Yajing Zhang, who attended the FUSD board meeting, supported the proposal to teach Hindi. He cited the welfare of the students as the main factor in his decision.

He said that if the introduction of Hindi education in 2 government schools is successful and inspired by this, other schools also want to offer Hindi education, then this can be done in the future.
