‘Corporation schools ready for English medium’
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.
