Delhi Corporation schools to become English medium from 2018

From the next academic session, schools under East Delhi Municipal Corporation and North Delhi Municipal Corporation will adopt English as a medium for all subjects for teaching the students.In the same regard, South Corporation has already announced that there will be one section each in nursery and class 1, which will use English as a medium. With this announcement more than 1700 students will now have the option to study in English as a medium.Himanshi Pandey, chairman of the Education Committee of the EDMC, said 'all 365 schools under the purview of EDMC will introduce English as the compulsory medium of instruction for students of nursery and Class I, and optional for other classes'. She further added "It might be difficult for students already learning in Hindi to switch. So we will have the option of Hindi for classes other than nursery. However, the idea is to make all schools eventually English medium". The decision was taken for the betterment of the students as they won't have to face the difficulties when they go for higher education.North civic body has 765 schools, EDMC has 365 schools and SDMC has 581 schools under their jurisdiction till class V and after class V students who still want to study in MCD are migrated to schools under Delhi government.Preety Aggarwal, mayor, North corporation, said, “We already have some schools where we are teaching in English but our target is to make English the medium of instruction in at least one section in all schools.”
