GUWAHATI: Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said Assam is contemplating a hybrid method of education in government-run schools where mathematics will be taught in English and the other subjects in vernacular languages.
For teaching English, the medium of instruction will be English language only and cannot be mixed with vernacular languages. At present, the medium of instruction in government schools is the local language barring a few Hindi-medium schools. In the majority of schools the medium of instruction is Assamese. Schools in Bodo areas have Bodo as the medium of instruction, while schools in the Barak Valley have Bengali as the medium of instruction.
