In more than 32,000 government-run primary schools in Gujarat, English subject has been introduced from Class I for the first time in a move to make the students conversant with the language and to meet the demands of parents who want their kids to learn English language from the beginning stages.
“From this academic year, we have made the beginning of teaching English as a subject from Standard 1 in all government-run schools,” said Gujarat’s Education Secretary Vinod Rao.
He added that in the start, the students of Class I-II will be taught basics of the language and from Class III onwards, they will be taught writing also.
