Karnataka: High Court seeks Details about medium of instruction


The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday directed the State Government to
submit details about all schools in the State, including the medium of
instruction, the facilities given, the number of students and their mother
tongue. A full Bench comprising Chief Justice Cyriac Joseph, Justice
Manjula Chellur and Justice N. Kumar passed the order while hearing
petitions filed by private educational institutions challenging the
State's language policy, which made it mandatory that the medium of
instruction be in the mother tongue of the child or in Kannada. The Bench
directed the Government to submit the details in this regard by May 30.
