Jodhpur: The Rajasthan High Court said that the English language, as a medium of teaching, could not be encouraged to a child even by the State Government Act when he revoked the decision to change the Shri Day of Singh’s high school in English high school to secondary school to England In the middle of the ongoing academic year.
The court’s decision came while hearing the petition by the School Development Management Committee (SDMC) from the school which was converted to Mahatma Gandhi English high school with the government’s order on September 20 last year.
The court said the decision to change the school with a direct effect of 2021-22 academic sessions violated Article 14 and 19 constitutions.
If for the upcoming session, which is 2022-23, the government wants or propose to change the school concerned for English high school, he will hold a SDMC meeting in the presence of sub-division / tehsildar judges and a candidate for district education officers relating to the agenda of the meeting circulated with Both in advance, the court is directed.
SDMC from Senior High School Shri Day Singh under Piwa Panchayat Samiti from Dechu in Jodhpur along with two other students has transferred the High Court after a decision by the state government, dated September 20, 2021, to turn schools into English media schools.
The applicant said that schools currently appear in 2012-13 in the Pilwa Panchayat circle after combining two other government schools, elementary schools for girls and other government elementary schools.
“In the entire Panchayat circle, the school in question is the only one who provides education from class 1 to 12 for 601 students who take education / instructions in Hindi,” said the petition.
SDMC argues that the conversion of Hindi secondary schools will have a negative impact on the future of students, especially women.
But given the importance of English instruction, SDMC shows that English secondary schools can be opened in empty government school buildings that can be run in two shifts, each for students in both media.
Although SDMC asked the government not to convert media instruction to English mid-year, it was approaching the court after the government failed to respond to his request.
