Hi all,
English wikipedia articles are listed in the "Further reading" sections of lessons in science text books of the recently implemented Samacheer Kalvi (uniform education) syllabus in Tamil Nadu. A few examples are : Standard 7 science (lesson 11) Standard 8 science (lessons 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11 and 13). The text books can be downloaded from http://www.textbooksonline.tn.nic.in/Std8.htm.
(Hattip: Ta. wikipedian Theni Subramani who discovered this and posted in ta wiki VP)
Inspite of some error in printing leading to non-existant pages, this at least gives visibility to each and every student of the state (Std 7 / 8). I really wish there were some Tamil wiki articles included in Tamil edition given that we have some nice articles on Biology,Maths etc.
Realistically speaking, when have school students read "further reading". At least i don't recollect me doing it :D
