[MTC Global] ENGLISH is the link language

Isn't it amusing (and ironical too) that, in this multi-faceted country with one of the oldest civilizations, the only concept that enjoys national character and offers a common platform for communication is a foreign language – English !

 

When we talk of global opportunities and world as boundary-less market, we must also integrate ourselves with the rest. The 2^nd language need not be only English, and it can be any other popular language(s) – incl Chinese ….

 

Rest assured, we are likely to ruin the new generations (and their future opportunities) if we shunned English and decided to revert to parochial regional mindset….. unfortunately, have seen best of brains struggling at IIT and IIM due to inadequate proficiency in this language and have seen even larger number losing out on opportunities in the Corporate world …. Choice is clear, I believe ….

Unfortunately and much to the chagrin of many ENGLISH is the link language esp for those of us who come from the South.It is more a survival factor than fashion

and very unfortunately we can insist that we read and write in MTs-it is good but it would like the real life story of a Government official in Kerala receiving a letter from the Central Government i Hindi and responding to it in Malayalam.He did right didn't he?

Language learning should be based on reality.WE can call ourselves ready to shift when we have enough vocabulary of tech and mgt in these languages.I am witness to a paper reading session by a hardcore MT language fanatic-he read the paper but did not know most of the word in it because they were Tamil  words for regularly used English words.Hilarious to put it mildly.

Even if we convert it is still the educated who need to make the shift-the ones who  dont go to school never have a problem

Dear sir,

 

Can you say why you/we send our children to English medium schools (CBSE/ICSE/ISE Board)?

 

I am talking about in general, there could be exceptions but very less.

 

 

In that case I must salute to those home maids who are very much concern about their children's future.

They also have right to dream, right to come out of poverty.

 

They earn hand to mouth, and it is appreciated if they sacrifice their need and save some amount for their child's education.

For that reason they work from day to night, this house to that house, used to listen and tolerate so many thing...

I believe in economic principle of 

"DEMAND AND SUPPLY" 

Is there a demand for Marathi Education in Maharashtra? Even a Maid servant in the house sends her children to English Medium. WHY SO? 

Every one thinks by learning English their children can go to Foreign Nations and 'make more money' or will get top jobs even in India. This kind of thinking is shrinking the demand for vernacular language school. 

If Government makes Sanskrit Language compulsory for top jobs like IAS,IPS,IFS and other UPSC posts people will start learning Sanskrit for the sake of Competitive jobs. I believe.

After working as teacher at a school in Kalyan near Mumbai for 14 years, Dilip Raje, 52, is now forced to sell idlis on the streets for a living. Reason: the school education department's decision to do away with surplus teachers in Marathi medium schools.

Raje, who was sacked in September 2016, used to teach social science and Marathi at Shishu Vikas Madhyamik School, Beturkarpada. "I always wanted to be a full-time teacher. I was promised a full-time post, but they never fulfilled it," said Raje

He was paid Rs6,000 as part-time teacher. His post was approved in 2009, after which his salary increased to Rs15,000 a month.

Raje is the only earning member of his family. His son is 17 years old, while his daughter is 2.

"I approached the education department to consider our demands and find a way to protect our jobs. At least 52 teachers from Thane and Palghar lost their jobs," said Raje.

Raje puts up his makeshift stall at Vasant Valley in Kalyan (West). " I don't hesitate, but I am not satisfied with what I am doing. I enjoy teaching and I wish to work as a teacher all my life," said Raje, who plans to move court.

According to the new rules, a batch of 30 students from Class 1 to 5 and a batch of 35 students from Class 6 to 8 can have only one teacher.
