Question

What are the reasons for providing Jagananna Gorumudda in government schools ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Andhra Pradesh government’s decision to make English the compulsory medium of instruction in all government schools has been controversial right from the start, inviting heavy criticism from several quarters. And now, the government has decided to rope in the children’s parents, asking them to vote on the matter.

Schools in Andhra Pradesh have been instructed to ask parents to vote by filling out a simple form, where they can choose between two options -- ‘English medium with Telugu as a compulsory subject’ or ‘Telugu medium.’

The Jagan Mohan Reddy government had gone ahead with its decision, despite criticism, issuing orders and making preparations through bridge courses for students and special training for teachers who would be switching from Telugu medium to English medium.
