Students can choose mode of education in govt schools
1 2 3 4 Jaipur: All students in Mahatma Gandhi English Medium Schools across Rajasthan will have the option to choose their medium of instruction from the 2025–26 session, the state education department announced after three cabinet sub-committee review meetings. The move aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. "In the present context, for the purpose of implementing New Education Policy 2020, it would be appropriate to give all the students the opportunity to choose the medium of study. Therefore, for the session 2025-26, the operation of all MGEM Govt Schools operating in the state should be kept as it is," said education secretary Krishna Kunal in a statement. The department also acknowledged that enrolments in govt English medium schools are lower due to lesser number of seats in primary classes. "The committee was informed that due to more seats in higher classes and fewer seats in feeder classes until the session 2023-24, enrolment in MGGS schools also decreased," said the statement. In the meetings, it was also decided that students, especially girls, should be given the choice of continuing in Hindi medium schools at the gram panchayat level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo For gram panchayats where there was no option left for Hindi medium education after schools were converted to English medium, schools will operate in two shifts for both languages. To address the shortage of teachers in the English medium schools, it was decided that if there is no teacher for any subject in the school, "then a teacher at another nearby school can be given the responsibility for teaching that subject." For this, an option of an additional honorarium will also be considered by the department. In the meetings of the cabinet sub-committee held between Jan and May, it was also decided that in view of the shortage of science faculties in the state, priority should be given to starting science faculties in schools after assessing the situation at the school level.
