After GRs cancellation, teachers wonder what to do with Hindi hours in timetable
Pune: Confusion prevails in state board-affiliated schools after the state govt cancelled both earlier notifications on the introduction of Hindi as a third language in the primary section. The timetable announced on June 18 by State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) is now invalid for the Hindi period. Teachers said they started the academic year two weeks ago, and now need to adjust the timetable again and wait for instructions on how to handle the periods set aside for Hindi.

Mahendra Ganpule, former vice-president of State Headmasters' Association, said, "Now that govt has cancelled both GRs, the older timetable in the State Curriculum Framework at the foundational level will have to be used."
