Delhi mandates English-medium section across classes in government schools

The Delhi government's Directorate of Education has issued a directive to all its schools, mandating the introduction of at least one English medium section in every class starting from the academic session 2025-26. The move is aimed at strengthening the academic foundation of students aspiring to pursue higher education in fields like science, technology, and a circular released on Tuesday, the Directorate asked heads of all government schools to implement the order in continuation of earlier instructions issued in 2014 and 2018. The circular stated that each class must have at least one English medium section, where all subjects-except regional languages-will be taught in to these sections will be based on the interest, willingness, and aptitude of students. Schools have also been directed to ensure the availability of appropriate books and teaching-learning materials in English to support the initiative. This structural change must be duly reflected in all official school records and updated on the UDISE (Unified District Information System for Education) portal. According to officials, the step has been taken in response to growing demand from parents who want their children to receive education in English, which they believe will be beneficial for higher education prospects. The English medium sections will be introduced up to Class 12 in a phased and zonal authorities have been instructed to closely monitor the implementation of the directive and provide all necessary support to ensure compliance across schools.- EndsTrending Reel
