India: English Medium Classes Begin Amid Outcry
The government on Thursday commenced English medium from class VI with Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) syllabus in 6,500 high schools in rural areas as a new experiment amid criticism against launching the scheme without proper trained teaching staff.
At a press conference here on Thursday, School Education Minister C. Damodar Rajanarsimha and Principal Secretary C. B. S. Venkata Ramana justified the experiment on the ground that it would offer convent-type English medium education to the children of the poor, making them fare better in life.
