Mysore/Mysuru: Writer and political thinker Kancha Ilaiah from Hyderabad has advocated introduction of English medium at Government Schools in Karnataka from Class 1 itself, giving equal priority to teach both Kannada and English languages to the students.
Ilaiah came out with the suggestion to State Government during the valedictory of two-day National Seminar organised by Union of Progressive Organisations as part of Pa. Mallesh-90 at Kalamandira in city yesterday. “The children should learn at least two languages at their nascent stage. Apart from making English learning mandatory at schools, the interest in science and scientific thinking should also be kindled among children,” said Ilaiah.
