More Schools in Karnataka under scrutiny
6, 678 schools in Karnataka “teaching in English medium”
Bangalore: More primary schools may be de-recognised by the Karnataka Government, apart from the 2,111 primary schools against which action was taken three months ago, for teaching in English medium after getting permission to start Kannada medium schools, Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Basavaraj S. Horatti told presspersons here on Wednesday that according to information received by the Government, 6,678 schools were teaching in English medium in violation of the conditions laid down by the Government.
He said the Government had since issued directions to all deputy directors of public instruction and block education officers to inspect 4,415 primary schools and submit a report by November 30. The Government had received complaints that some officials had filled false reports, which helped the schools get scot-free after violating the language policy, he said.
