 ANNEXURE (70) 

XI. Permission to open classes of junior college

Secondary schools and colleges allowed to open junior college classes should restrict themselves to the number of divisions as well as streams sanctioned to them by the director of education/director of technical education. Expenditure on divisions and streams not sanctioned or in excess of those sanctioned will not be held admissible for grant. Similarly, provision for teaching an optional subject shall not be made unless:-

 

(a) for teaching Urdu, Pali, Sanskrit, Persian, philosophy, psychology, modern foreign, language, drawing (Fine Art), dancing, Indian, music and foreign music, a minimum of ten students (each) are available; And

 

(b) for teaching any optional subject other than that mentioned in (a) above, a minimum f twenty students (each) are available.

 

(G.R., E. & Y.S.D. No. HSC. 1076/419/XX/XXI, dated 6^th May 1976.)

 

(c) Grouping of students for teaching language subject.- Where, for the teaching of language subject at the junior college level, 20 or more students offering that language subject are not available and wherever the contents of the language subject are common for students joining the different faculties, (viz. Arts, Science, Commerce), whether at collegiate or junior college level, there should be no objection to the students under different faculties being combined to form a class of minimum 20 students for that language subjects.

 

(Govt. letter, E. & Y.S.D. No. HSC. 1076/48214/XX/XXI, dated 19^th July 1976.)

 

(d) Provision of teaching Marathi in the institution conducting junior college classes through the medium of instruction other than Marathi.

 

A number of non-Marathi students joining the junior college classes attached to the colleges, with medium of instructions other than Marathi desire to offer and learn Marathi at lower level, because, inter alia, the study of this language enables them to enlarge their social contacts and also improve their employment prospects, as Marathi is the state language of Maharashtra. The colleges conducting junior college classes as well as collegiate classes should make provisions for teaching Marathi at lower level and indicate it in their prospectus. If a minimum number of twenty students for providing this faculty are not available in a class, arrangement should be made for teaching Marathi to a group of 20 students, if available from different faculties (viz. Arts, Science and Commerce) wherever the syllabi/contents of this language subject are common for students joining different faculties. Any attempts to deliberately dissuade students from offering Marathi at lower level will be viewed seriously by government.

(e) Change in the division of arts into commerce stream or vice-versa.- Any institution which has been allowed a division of arts, may start a division in commerce, if required number of students is not available for the arts stream but it has the prescribed number of students for commerce stream ad vice-versa.

 

Any institution which has been allowed one division of arts and one division of commerce may open both the divisions of any of these streams depending upon the availability of the prescribed number of students and qualified staff.

 

Thus the total number of division allotted to that institution will remain constant but the institution will have freedom to interchange these two streams.
