Out of these 263 schools, 154 are Bengali medium; 46 are Hindi medium’ and 56 are Urdu medium. Along with these there are 7 other schools which are of mixed mediums like Bengali & Urdu or Hindi & Urdu. KMC has recently decided to convert some of these primary schools into English medium from Bengali, Urdu or Hindi mediums. To begin with, KMC has decided to convert four schools at Garden Reach into English medium ones for a trail. Mayor-in-council member Avijit Mukherjee who happens to be the in-charge of the KMC education department reported about this new initiative and said, “We have decided to offer quality education to the students of the KMC primary schools. This move will help the students in their higher education in the future”. The municipal body has also decided to further extend this in phases to other municipal schools as well. Sources reported that the education department of the KMC has consulted some educationists to smoothly carry out this transition of converting mediums for the welfare of the students.
