From our Overseas Bureau

Over a million students in Virginia can now learn about Sikhism as the U.S. State voted in favour of new social studies standards that will include Sikhi or the Sikh faith, in the school curriculum for the first time ever.

Virginia State Board of Education voted in favour of the new History and Social Science Standards of Learning.

New standards will give more than a million students in Virginia an opportunity to learn about the Sikh Community, the Sikh Coalition said.
