It seems the poor in TN prefer to send their kids to English medium schools.

All parents want the best for their children. They want them to get good jobs when they grow up. Why many of them want to give their children English medium education instead of Tamil medium education? Do they hate their mother tongue Tamil and love the foreign English? I bet they love their mother tongue Tamil and have no special love for English. Parents believe that English medium education gives better job opportunities when their children enter the job market. They are correct.---------------------------

Tamil groups, activists and scholars should spend their energies lobbying the Tamilnadu state government to pass and enact a language requirement law as discussed in Section 4. Such an effort will get far more support from the general public. In fact, there is resentment among many parents about the opposition to English medium education option in government schools. Let us put pressure on all Tamil Nadu political parties to support a language requirement legislation.

This is terrible. It is a fact that children learn best in their mother-tongue. People just don't know what is good for theie children. We know better. Ban English medium schools. We want wonly Thamizh medium in our state.
