Improve English skills of govt. college students to enable them to compete at global level, teachers told
The HinduThe Commissioner, Collegiate Education, P. Bhaskara said that the students of the government degree colleges must be in a position to compete at the global level, for which English medium education would be helpful. Addressing the teaching faculty of the government degree colleges in the district at a six-day training session that started on Monday at the Government College for Women here, Mr. Bhaskara said that from this academic year, the medium of instruction has been changed to English. “Unless students understand subjects in English, they will not be able to access relevant information, much of which is available in that language,” he said. The Collegiate Education Department earlier completed the training programme, aimed at helping the core subject lecturers improve proficiency and teaching skills in English, for two batches at the college, which is among the 18 nodal resource centres in the State.
