BackAndhra Pradesh makes 'English medium’ compulsory in all colleges
English medium will be compulsory across all government, private aided and unaided degree colleges from the academic year 2021-22
PremiumThe Andhra Pradesh government has decided to make ‘English medium’ compulsory across all government, private aided and unaided degree colleges in the state from the academic year 2021-22, the Chief Minister's Office informed on Tuesday.
Last year, the Jagan Mohan Reddy's government had made English medium mandatory in all government schools from Classes 1 to VI. However, the High Court struck down the order terming it unconstitutional and violative of several Acts, including the Right to Education Act.
