Students in Australia To Soon Learn Punjabi in Schools
Punjabi language will soon be introduced in Australian Schools as a part of their academic curricular.
Indians are dominating around the world or you can Indians are all over the world running it with their capabilities. This has been proven yet again after an Indian language will be taught in public schools of Australia. Punjabi will be taught in public schools in Western Australia. The syllabus for pre-primary to year 12 will be developed this year. The Australian government is adopting Punjabi as the newest language after a 2021 census, showed that it was the fastest-growing language in Australia with more than 239,000 people using it at home.
The move to teach Punjabi in schools was considered after the syllabus earlier included Indian languages like Tamil & Hindi in 2021. Australian Education Minister Sue Ellery said "I am pleased to see the ongoing expansion of language curriculum for Western Australia students, and the development of the Punjabi curriculum is particularly fitting given it could support students in key future employment opportunities,"
While language is a new addition, earlier Australian Sikh history was included in the Humanities and Social Sciences subjects in WA schools for years 5, 6 and 9.
