[MLE] Rights to Education Bill advocates Mother Tongue
Dear MLE friends, Last month the much discussed Right to Education Bill, passed in both Houses of the Parliament. In it many important issues are addressed. In the context of this mailing list the following line is important: (f) medium of instructions shall, as far as practicable, be in child's mother tongue; Of course more significant is the context in which that line is written (see below). One aim of the bill is to make the education in India more child centred . Using the mother tongue is part of that reform.
