Now, every class in government schools in Delhi will have an English medium section, in which children will get admission based on their interest and ability.

The Delhi government has announced that from the year 2025-26, all government schools in the national capital will have at least one English medium section in every class. This step has been taken because many parents want their children to study in English, which will help them in studying science, technology and higher education in future.

Admissions and resources

Students will be admitted to these English medium sections on the basis of their interest and ability.

Textbooks and other teaching materials required to teach in English will be provided to the schools.

Monitoring and compliance

This change will also be recorded on the school records and government portal.

Government officials will check whether the rules are being followed properly or not.

Instructions and preparation to schools

The Directorate of Education has instructed all schools to ensure admission to the English medium section based on the interest and aptitude of the students. For this, schools will have to provide adequate English teaching material and implement the curriculum effectively. These changes will also be published in official records and the UDISE portal to ensure transparency and streamlined process. District and regional officials have also been given responsibility to successfully implement this policy. They will monitor this system and ensure that it is followed properly.

Better opportunities for the future

With this step, the Delhi government aims to improve the quality of education and provide better opportunities to the students for the future. The mandatory English medium section will increase the competitiveness of students studying in government schools and help them connect with the global world.
