KANNADA Sahitya Sammelana President Go Ru Channabasappa advocates Kannada as the medium of instruction from primary school to high school, and wants English as a subject.
In his presidential address at the 87th Sammelana, the veteran writer took strong objection to imposing English in schools, and said he is not against teaching English as a subject.
Expressing concern over the mushrooming and spread of English medium schools, he fears that the trend will deliver a mortal blow to Kannada. As the government changed school education, the status of Kannada changed as a first, second and third language.
Regretting the condition of government schools in villages, he expressed concern at their amalgamation, which resulted in the closure of many schools in rural areas. The government opened composite schools in all panchayats with the best infrastructure and teaching staff to compete with private schools.
