Kannada or English

We see all our politicians protesting English Education and cancelling the recognitions of English Medium schools. (It is a different issue that these same politicians never dream of sending their children to non-English medium schools) But now you can see that even villagers try to send their children to English medium schools some how. By sending them to relatives in towns, or making them travel to the nearest town. And in urban areas, even poor people try to send their children to these English medium schools. So whom are the government schools helping ? And whom are kannada medium schools helping? The strengths of these schools are reducing day by day whereas getting English medium school admissions are herculean tasks.
Will it not be appropriate to make the medium of instruction English from 8th? This will even help the children do better in their 11th and 12th which will decide their future. Currently the unfortunate village children who come to PUC will take almost half an year to get used to English language. And hence will fall behind their urban counterparts.
