Telangana govt. schools set to embrace English medium but no word on teacher training yet
The Hindu
English-medium education is planned to be introduced in 15,370 schools
The government’s decision to introduce English medium education in all schools from the coming academic year is likely to lead to higher admissions, but the training of teachers for the purpose is yet to take off in the real sense.
The government has an existing memorandum of understanding with the Azim Premji University for the training of teachers in English but that was signed much before the government’s announcement on English medium education in schools.
A senior official said no new MoU has been signed for training the 43,000 teachers identified. However, the government’s intention is to introduce these teachers to the English Language Enrichment Course for four weeks in two stages. The training will be online but officials have little clue on when and how it is going to take off. “We are yet to get a final picture as the discussions are still on,” a senior official said, requesting anonymity.
