The schools will automatically shutdown since no parents will admit their children in such<br />schools.Then where will government implement its rule. Karnataka will be left with only ICSE and CBSE schools<br />without kannada. We parents want our children to learn kannada.Let kannada be the compulsary first language. Let kids<br />learn maths, environmental science and english also. we parents have admitted our children in such<br />schools,because we want our children to learn kannada.If government brings such rules, we who are kannadigas<br />will be forced to admit our childern in ICSE or CBSE board schools. Then what will happen to kannada, If all parents decide to change to ICSE or CBSE. when we were young, we had only state syllabus schools. We had not heard of ICSE at all. But when it<br />comes to admitting our kids , we find there are no state syllabus schools at all. we had to literally hunt for<br />a school that taught kannada to admit our children. But what happened now is that the government is shutting<br />these scools. It would have been a easy optin to admit our kids to ICSE schools. The reason for so many ICSE and CBSE schools in bangalore is because of the government rule. Schools<br />which started after 1994 who wanted english as medium of instruction, could not do this with the state<br />governments conditions. So they opted for ICSE. Most of the schools in bangalore have ICSE for calss 1 to 7.<br />then they give students an option to choose State or ICSE. why ? because of the state government rules. The<br />government is responsible for this . Now if the government shuts schools ,then kannada wont remain. It is best to teach kannada as a<br />compulsory subject with english as the medium of instruction . Because parents want it like that.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34863596-115894409291014440?l=archanakrishnamurthy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>archanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16777364612419810542noreply@blogger.com0
