Jadavpur Vidyapith given permission to introduce teaching in English
The West Bengal government has granted permission to state-run Jadavpur Vidyapith in the city to start an English-medium wing from the 2020 academic session, an official said on Saturday. "We have got a circular from the school education department on January 1, which allowed us to start an English-medium wing, to be run alongside the existing Bengali-medium facility from class five to 12," Jadavpur Vidyapith Head Master Parimal Bhattacharya said. If the new section is started, Jadavpur Vidyapith will be the first government school in the city where the English- medium teaching will be introduced from class five to 12, said a senior official of the education department. Since the admission process to class five has already been started for the existing Bengali-medium section, the Jadavpur Vidyapith will seek opinions of the students and guardians in next two-three days for shifting to the new wing, Bhattacharya said.
