The Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) and the Institute Francais en Inde (IFI-The French Institute in India) signed an MoU on Monday to introduce French language education in Delhi government schools.
“As a part of our programme to introduce prominent global languages in government schools, students will now have the option to learn French too," Manish Sisodia said.
"Introduction of global languages like French will unlock new career options for our students in various fields and will make them professionally sound,” he added.
French language will be introduced in 30 DBSE-affiliated schools during the trial phase, and will thereafter be spread to other schools based on the children's desire in learning it.
