Section 114 in Tamil Nadu Educational Inspection Code
114. Compulsory and optional subjects.
- An inspecting officer should ensure all the compulsory subjects receive the necessary attention. This is particularly important in the case of newly introduced activity subjects, like handicrafts, music, physical education. It should be remembered that schools are allowed to teach one or more of the optional subjects only when the required standards are attained in the compulsory subject and orders are issued, from time to time, by the Director regarding the stage at which and the conditions under which the optional subjects are taught. The observance of these instructions should be examined and ensured especially in regard to the teaching the English and additional languages.
