The mushrooming of English medium schools is a recent phenomena (not more than 20-25 years). Still the majority of schools in our Country are teaching in the local languages.
A week back or so I had read a report in the News Papers that there are more "places of worships" in Karnataka than "Schools" The condition in other states also may not be much different! So we are wasting our time and money on futile exercises rather than imparting quality education.
