Script about which medium is
best at school
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Mountains of evidence show that children learn more if they're taught in their mother tongue. Besides, many teachers barely know the language of instruction.
Standing in an exceptionally well-appointed demonstration lab in one of Chennai Municipal Corporation’s so-called “model” schools, the chemistry teacher, speaking in Tamil, explained to me that science in high school was taught in English.
I asked her whether the classroom discussion was also in English. She said, “For discussion I allow Tamil, but I explain the concepts only in English.” Since she had needed an interpreter to understand my question, I asked if what she did was to read out concepts to the class from a textbook. She replied that that’s what she did.
In a Delhi government-run model school, a star high school student’s exam script answer to a question about the Right to Education says:
“In this right all the citizen of the India have right to education and all the child who are under 14 year have right to free education. No one can exploide any child to do/ to be a labour. Child labour is punishable offence and it is much similar to right against exploitation.”
The science teacher in Chennai, who has a MSc in Chemistry and the requisite degrees in education, and the 17-year-old Delhi school boy, who has attended an English-medium model school since class 1 and got more than 80% in the class 10 board exam, are products of an intractable problem in Indian education – that policy-making for mass education focuses on form and not substance.
