"With very low per capita income in India I think language issue is secondary"
Flip that around for a while. If the language issue was made primary, you could literally speak any language and have access to quality education and higher-paying jobs.
Just read an article yesterday that said that 60 students were expelled from the IITs - one of the major reasons being that they could not cope with English as the medium of instruction: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/education/how-english-is-playing-a-spoilsport-for-students-at-engineering-institutes-like-the-iit/articleshow/53549766.cms http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/services/educat...
- geodel 10y agoHow would you make it primary? It would take a lot more resources to have services in multiple languages and resource are the big issue in first place. From the article you linked: > Apart from the language issue, the inability to apply knowledge to concepts is another reason why students fail. I know it would be speculation but I think these kids were already below average when admitted.
