GATS- TAMIL EDUCATION

TAMIL EDUCATION


GATS Center For American Tamils

A first step for Glorious Tamil Culture for All

Why are we teaching Tamil
• Tamil is the basis for Tamil Culture
• Our Children have to interact with people back in Home
• Good for Creativity and Brian Development to know more language
• Above all our Mother Tongue

OUR AIM
• Bring common platform in Teaching Tamil in GA and later stage to North America
• GATS could act like TOEFL and SAT boards
• Have yearly exam for each grade.
• Finalizing syllabus for the exam
• Have graduation in Tamil Language
• Get accreditation and credit hours for Tamil Language from government To benefit for the college admission.

Points for discussion
Syllabus. – Three possible syllabus we could select or combination of all three
Tamil Nadu government text books – Freely available for use to teach and for exam
Tamil Virtual University materials ‐ Freely available for use to teach. Also they have 6 levels of exams and US centers for exam
Singapore government Tamil education books – We need permission to use their materials
(copyright). I think it could be done.
Get accreditation for Tamil with Georgia – In CA people has done this before. Getting help from them
– Find out State government or school district has the authority to give accreditation.
• Have yearly exam for each grade.
• Have graduation in Tamil Language

Please participate in our discussion, join as a volunteer and help future generation
