GUWAHATI: The Assam Government has decided to introduce dual medium of instruction from Class VI to XII in Assamese and vernacular medium schools under the State Government.
The school authority will be at liberty to introduce English medium without abolishing Assamese or vernacular medium.
Further, five to ten schools in each district will be identified by the government for introducing dual medium and number of such schools shall be increased gradually depending on outcome of the move. This was decided during the cabinet meeting held on July 28.
The government has also decided that, from the academic year 2023, Mathematics and Science will be taught in English from Class III in all government and provincialised Assamese and other vernacular medium schools and accordingly the books will be in English.
