For many students in Delhi government schools, completing Class 10 is now bringing an unexpected challenge. Several students and parents in northeast and east Delhi claim that English-medium sections are either being discontinued or merged with Hindi-medium classes in Classes 11 and 12, leaving students worried about their future.
The issue has sparked concern among parents, teachers and education activists, with some students reportedly considering changing schools to continue studying in English.
Why Are Students Struggling To Continue In English Medium?
According to parents quoted by TOI, many Delhi government schools maintain separate English and Hindi-medium sections up to Class 10. However, the situation reportedly changes in senior secondary classes.
As students choose different subject streams in Class 11, schools often reorganise sections based on subject combinations. Parents told TOI that when the number of English-medium students in a particular stream is low, schools may merge them with Hindi-medium sections instead of running separate classes.
As a result, students who wish to continue their education in English reportedly face limited options.
