Two years after announcing it would set up 100 English medium schools to cater to the demand for them at the district and taluka levels, the Gujarat Government seeks to establish them in the current academic year, a step ahead from introducing English as a subject from Class I in the 2022-23.
In 2022, in more than 32,000 government-run primary schools in Gujarat, where over 50 lakh students are enrolled from Classes 1-8, English was introduced as a subject from Class I for the first time in a move to make students conversant with the language, and to meet the demand of parents who wanted their offspring to learn the English language from early schooling onward.
