సంవత్సరం నుంచి ఏ మీడియంలో చదవాలని భావిస్తున్నారో తెలుసుకోవాలని ప్రభుత్వం
నిర్ణయించింది. 2019–20 విద్యా సంవత్సరంలో ప్రభుత్వ పాఠశాలల్లో ఒకటో తరగతి
నుంచి ఐదో తరగతి వరకు విద్యార్థుల తల్లిదండ్రులు/ సంరక్షకుల అభిప్రాయాలను
తెలుసుకుని నివేదించాల్సిందిగా పాఠశాల విద్యాశాఖ కమిషనర్‌ను ఆదేశించింది. ఈ

చేశారు.

అందిపుచ్చుకునేలా 2020–21 విద్యా సంవత్సరం ఒకటి నుంచి ఆరో తరగతి వరకు
ఇంగ్లిష్‌ మీడియం ప్రవేశపెట్టాలని ప్రభుత్వం గతంలో నిర్ణయించింది. అనంతరం

బోర్డు పరీక్షలను ఇంగ్లిష్‌ మీడియంలో రాసేలా తీర్చిదిద్దాలని భావించింది.
► ఇదే సమయంలో అన్ని పాఠశాలల్లోనూ తెలుగును తప్పనిసరి సబ్జెక్టుగా కూడా
చేసింది. ఈ మేరకు ప్రతి మండల కేంద్రంలోనూ ఓ తెలుగు మీడియం పాఠశాల
కొనసాగించాలని నిర్ణయించింది.

of their judgment that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to which India is a
signatory, may have its significance wherein at Article 26 (3) it was specifically
mentioned that the parents have a right to choose the kind of education that shall be
given to the children.
