Third language row: Demand for clarification from Karnataka Education Department

Educationist and progressive thinker Shabbir Mustafa has urged the Karnataka’s Education Department to immediately clarify the confusion over grading and marks for third language exams in schools.

In a statement in Mysuru, Mr. Mustafa, who is also a member of the University of Mysore’s Syndicate, said lack of clarity during the ongoing academic year’s examination period whether the third language subjects should be evaluated through grades or marks has created confusion and pushed lakhs of students into mental stress and uncertainty.
