The Minister said that every student studying in the State must learn Kannada and eligible teachers should teach the subject.

He further said that in the interest of students, private schools must support the government.

During the interaction, Mr. Kumar said that in the coming days, 1,000 government schools will be identified to teach subjects in Kannada and English. Students in these schools will have textbooks in both languages.
