Something for ordinary people: never fall into the trap of not teaching your children english. Remember politicians children are going to english-medium pvt schools. Their children speak fluent english. They go abroad to study, which is in english. Dont fall for the trap that your children need to learn in indian languages.
School learning should start in ones mother tongue.While preparing textbooks in regional languages,words related to science,maths,commerce etc should be in internationally known,familiar English words like speed,acceleration,mass,wight,cheque book etc.
What a huge irony in this when both the interviewer and the interviewee are using English as a medium of communication here! I mean imagine if none of them knew English, would this conversation even be possible?! Good luck employing tranlators for conducting a simple interview. All the elite private schools and colleges in the country have their medium of instruction as English but the underprivileged who have to study in state funded colleges and government primary and secondary schools should be taught in vernacular. As if the class divide wasn't bad enough on the basis of English. Honestly, at this point in time it sounds like a conspiracy to me by some people to restrict access to a language which is essentially a global access tool at this point in time!
Learning English is fine and does help. The interviewer and interviewee are a result of being in a flawed system which has resulted in this. Both of them could be conversant in the same language which is not English (foreign like French or native like Tamil) and the conversation would still go on. So it seems your logic is a result of the same flawed system you and I are a part of (both of us are conversing in English) but you seem to not get the issue. Also, these people are talking about reducing the extra emphasis on English and giving more or less equal priority to all languages and not about removing English completely so your reasoning is standing on false grounds.
I mean the people wants more federalism, so this is the next step. By the way both opposition and ruling parties are on the same page regarding teaching in vernacular language.
While kids of politicians and big industrial families don't even find India's education worth it, that's why they send their kids to universities in Western countries. Language should provide greater opportunities of sticking with english means better opportunities in life, I don't see the point of education in vernacular language . No sane individual with sacrifice their future for the sake of preserving local language.
Through english i was able access research on preventive healthcare and my life is better. I read literature and finance books like think and grow rich which changed and transformed my life. If you argue that these can be translated i ask how much can you translate! What about fresh research? What about obscure articles of value?
Don't you understand the ideology and long term plan of rss , brother? They just want to reproduce bhakts who would not be able to learn fresh, scientific and modern knowledge and also crippled to question anything. They just want brainwashed and mindless followers who don't question anything.
Thinking in different languages is our strength, not weakness. Does this govt feel that every Indian must read science in Hindi? Must we be like Chinese who struggle to communicate in English? Pak, bangladesh, etc have an old habit of revisionist history, similar to rss changing Indian history books. True leaders know how to bring people together without force/rules, but bhakts of a nation can bring down any great country. Organised corruption inside the govt dept don't fear laws, due to connections with ruling Party, instead they thrive in rigid systems. Policy cannot be a response to crisis. It has to anticipate and avert it. Russia does not suffer from the intellectual brain-drain because of Soviets funding into education. India's population, now the world’s biggest and growing; while education budget has been falling past 10 years. One in two Indian youth are not yet readily employable, but do well once they go abroad. The transition away from agricultural employment has witnessed a reversal (since 2019) since private sector is not investing or hiring due to low demand (as people have no money due to high gst taxes & note ban). Private sector doesn't want to spend to train & they don't want to pay more for those who come fully trained. The unemployment rate for graduates in India is 29 percent. Ai is displacing in low-end services. The increased enthusiasm for work, among the urban population, has not translated into increased opportunities. The high level of youth unemployment does not bode well for the future of India. Our India's trade deficit is with 9 out of the 10 nations we import. Govt backed industrialist like Company 'A' have created fewer jobs, instead transferred money to shell companies abroad. India's highest youth population is being wasted, unlike China's economic growth story. China became developed when they had the highest youth population. Jobs are driven by middle-class private sector, particularly through small & medium-sized businesses. Middle-class entrepreneurs play a crucial role in not only jobs but also in wages growth, which boosts per capita income of a nation; these directly depend on Union govt's economic policies & increased funding to states for education. 26,100 govt schools have closed in UP as per Indian Govt's United District Information System for Education UDISE. We can't compare japan's education system to germany's, but we can compare a nation's education, every decade. In Feb, union govt had reduced funding for education. Education budget 2024 : 2.5% 2022 : 2.64% 2021 : 2.64% 2020 : 3% 2019 : 3.4% 2018 : 3.48% 2017 : 3.7% 2016 : 3.65% 2015 : 3.88% 2014 : 3.8% 2013 : 4.77% 2012 : 4.97% 2011 : 5% 2010 : 4.5%
Education is a state subject. State budgets matter more than central budgets. If the doctor in Coimbatore is receiving 1000 patients every day. What % are English speaking and what % are Tamil speaking? Is the Tamilnadu government spending money to create doctors for English-speaking patients in the UK and Canada? How many Tamil language medical colleges DMK/AIDMK government started?
India being a multilingual country. Importance should be given to mother tongue or native language and English. Scandinavian countries education system is a best example.
@@nv9991 Education is state subject, so why is UP's govt schools failing? UP gets Rs. 4 from central govt. in return for every Rs. 1 it gives in taxes. Whereas, for every Rs. 1, Tamil Nadu gets 30 paisa, Kerala gets back 20 paisa, Karnataka gets 13 paisa back. Despite this Kerala & Karnataka have far more educated youth through govt schools than UP, why?
Embracing multilingualism in school education and bilingualism in higher education has the potential to profoundly impact students learning outcomes and confidence. By acknowledging and valuing diverse languages, students' cultural identities are reinforced, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. As students learn in their mother tongue and additional languages, their understanding deepens, and academic achievement improves. This linguistic inclusivity enhances their confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills, ultimately leading to a more effective and enjoyable learning experience. The reflection of this enhanced learning will be evident in their improved academic performance, increased participation, and better retention rates, ultimately shaping a more informed, adaptable, and global-minded generation.
I would say it is good but English is definitely given more emphasis than other langauges (even foreign, like French). That reveals some problem that needs to be investigated. General multilingualism (even in colleges, not just schools) is definitely good.
Learning more languages improves the brain, whatever be the languages. Also, English at the moment is important as it does help in jobs and also helps in bridging communication gaps (for the first reason, more people learn English than Hindi hence) between people with different tongues. However, English's importance is overstated and that is our fault. If we had more native industries and companies hiring and if our colleges were better and taught in Indian languages then Indian languages would gain more power. South Korea and Japan have the same and thus they do not speak much of any foreign language. Nothing that cannot be corrected if we focus on creation of companies and improving our colleges. Italy is also trying to do away with English officially. Just learning a new language is a good thing. Another thing that the government can and should push is for laptops to have a vernacular symbol option on the keyboard which is also the norm in China, South Korea and Japan so people using a laptop can also practice their languages more often through everyday experience. Another major issue to be corrected is that none of the languages taught in any kind of schools here (including English) are taught properly. Not many languages can be taught to a child unless they want to. Hence, it is important to give them the choice to select two main languages that they want to learn and those should be taught with great emphasis. Also a third language should also be taught as per a choice which will be taught lightly. On top of that, if the child wants to learn any more number of languages, then he or she should be free to choose what and how many other languages he or she would like to learn.
Good point. That microscopic minority working in IT sector did help India build forex reserves after 1991. But can it help us to get rich? India can get rich only when we can start innovating. That will happen by developing analytical thinking is vast majority of Indians. Teaching in mother tongue helps in that. Ofcourse English should be learnt too.
We need a large number of Medical and engineering schools in Tamil, Hindi, Marathi, and Bengla languages also. An automobile engineer needs to talk to his 2W driver customers in Telugu. Why should he be forced to learn automobile engineering in English when his customers (2wheel drivers) are not English-speaking? Some students may prefer to learn maths science and medicine in their own language. They have the fundamental right to get entire education in their mother tongue. Someone needs to file a PIL to demand such service from the state & central governments.
@@nv9991 because how will it be possible practically to check the exam papers or teach maths at universities, in regional languages, in such a vast but poor nation India? We are too big & too poor. Many issues plague India like basic facilities/infrastructure & primary school education & child hunger.
Almost 90% of scientific research all around the world is published in English. So if you want to learn automobile engineering in Tamil or Marathi, you'll need to translate all the latest research into that language, then translate your own findings back to english. Not only will it make foreign collaborations hard, it'll even make it hard to collaborate between different states in India. How will an automobile engineer who has learned everything in Tamil ever get a job in Mumbai or Bangalore? The nation will simply break apart, because there will be no mobility between the people of different states, so after a point there wouldn't really be any reason to stay together. Each state of India will be isolated from other states and from the world at large.
