It appears the Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government is getting ready to convert all the government schools into full-fledged English medium schools.
While it has already made up its mind to introduce English medium from Class 1 to 6 in all the schools in the state in tune with the majority opinion of the parents, the Jagan government is preparing ground for introducing even pre-primary education in the schools as well.
According to official sources, the Jagan government has readied the proposals start pre-primary classes in 3,400-odd government schools from the coming academic year, under Samagra Siksha Abhiyan scheme.
It means like in private English medium schools, the government schools also will have nursery, LKG and UKG classes before commencing the Class 1. Admissions will be given for children in the age group of three to five years in these pre-primary classes.
The students in these pre-primary classes will be taught basic reading and writing skills and fundamental mathematical lessons. Later, they would be taken into Class 1. The teachers for these pre-primary classes would be recruited on contract basis.
Since the preparation for these pre-primary education and English medium classes will need some time, the Jagan government has decided to delay the academic year by a couple of months.
So, instead of in June, the schools will now commence from August 3. The government hopes the Corona virus situation will subside by then.
