‘Corporation schools ready for English medium’

Special Correspondent

A proposal has been prepared to introduce English medium in 40 Corporation schools in Madurai. Particulars of these schools have been sent to the Department of School Education and further action will be taken after obtaining permission, according to R.Nanthagopal, Corporation Commissioner.

He was answering a question raised by Councillor S.T.Jayabalan at the Council meeting on Friday as to what steps had been taken by the Corporation in this regard.

Responding to another member’s query, Mr.Nanthagopal said the Corporation wrote to the Department of School Education 15 days back about its plan, and it would be implemented in at least 20 schools once the permission was granted.

R.Mathialagan, Corporation Education Officer, said a meeting of Corporation school headmasters had been convened to discuss the issue.
