BENGALURU: Karnataka's private schools, including CBSE and ICSE
institutions, are again headed for a legal battle with the state
government over the language issue. The government's decision to make
Kannada the compulsory medium of instruction from classes 1 to 5 in all
schools has rankled them. <br><br> On March 30, the state %legislature
passed the Right to Free and Compulsory Education (Karnataka Amendment)
Bill 2015 to make Kannada %the medium of instruction at the primary
level, amending the RTE Act of 2009. <br><br> The bill needs the nod of the Union government and the President to become an Act. <br><br> RTE Act applies to all schools, irrespective of the syllabi they follow. <br><br>
D Shashi Kumar, general secretary of the Karnataka Associated
Management of English Medium Schools (KAMS), called the move
impractical. He told TOI: "All these years, teachers have been teaching
in English. If the bill is implemented, schools will need more than a
million teachers well-versed in Kannada. Where will we get so many
teachers?" <br><br> KAMS is set to file a writ petition before the high
court against the bill. "Implementation of this bill is impossible, as
it has to be approved in Parliament and needs the assent of political
leaders from other states as well," he said. <br><br> Joining KAMS in
the legal battle against the government is Management of Independent
CBSE Schools Association (MICSA). Mansoor Ali Khan, secretary of MICSA,
said after holding a meeting with school associations, MICSA will take a
decision. <br><br> He pointed out that most teachers in private schools
have done schooling, graduation and BEd in English medium. "How can
they suddenly start imparting education in Kannada?'' he asked. <br><br>
B Gayethri Devi, secretary of Karnataka ICSE Schools' Association, said
CBSE and ICSE schools are established to facilitate parents with
transferrable jobs. "For instance, if a parent is transferred from Assam
to Bengaluru, how can her kids learn Kannada suddenly? If Kannada
becomes the medium of instruction, people from other states may stop
coming to Karnataka," she said. <br><br> The Supreme Court has rejected
the curative petition of the state government on language policy,
pointed out the chairman of a reputed institution, adding, "Instead of
wasting time on making Kannada as compulsory medium of instruction, it
should concentrate on producing quality teachers." <br><br> The
government has also passed the Kannada Language Learning Bill, 2015 to
make Kannada a compulsory subject from classes 1 to 10 in the schools.
However, state board schools are not against this bill, as a majority of
them are following it. CBSE and ICSE schools, too, offer Kannada as an
optional subject either as second or third language. </div></div><span id="storyendpath"></span><div style="margin:10px 0px"> </div><p style="font-weight:bold;margin:0px 0px 20px;padding:0px">Stay updated on the go with Times of India News App. Click <a target="_blank" href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/mobileapplist/7404562.cms?utm_source=articleshow_bottom&utm_medium=showpage&utm_campaign=articleshow">here</a> to download it for your device.</p><p style="font-weight:bold;margin:0px 0px 20px;padding:0px"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Karnataka-schools-set-to-take-language-policy-to-court-policy/articleshow/46790948.cms">http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Karnataka-schools-set-to-take-language-policy-to-court-policy/articleshow/46790948.cms</a><br></p><div><div style="float:right;margin:10px 0px"><a class="" href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Karnataka-schools-set-to-take-language-policy-to-court-policy/articleshow/46790948.cms#write"><span class=""></span>Post a comment</a></div></div></div><div id="outbrain_widget_0" style="margin-top:2px" class=""><div class="">

<p>IF ANY STATE WANTS TO PROMOTE ITS LANGUAGE THE BETTER
COURSE WOULD BE TO MAKE IT A COMPULSORY LANGUAGE TO LEARN UPTO THE
SCHOOL FINALS INSTEAD OF MAKING IT THE MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION - --THIS
WILL SERVE BOTH THE PURPOSE OF PROMOTING STATE LANGUAGE AND ALLOWING
STUDENTS TO HAVE ENGLISH AS MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION - -</p>
