'Punjabi in New South Wales Schools': Parents Urged To EncourageCchildren To Grab The Chance To Learn


Acting on its commitment to teaching languages other than English, the NSW government has now developed a syllabus for students keen to learn and develop their skills in Punjabi.

In 2017, the NSW Department of Education undertook a collaborative curriculum project with the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) to draft Punjabi syllabus for students through kindergarten and year 10, after the state government gave its nod to teaching the language in public schools.
Mona Sidhu, a Sydney-based science teacher and language enthusiast told SBS Punjabi that the process which began in February 2018 has now concluded and the draft syllabuses for all years are now available on the NESA website.
Anyone who is already recognised to teach in NSW schools and is willing to teach can teach the language provided they have studied Punjabi until graduation.
