Karnataka to Introduce Bilingual Education in All Government Schools by 2027
Karnataka plans to introduce bilingual education in all government schools by the 2027-28 academic year, offering English alongside Kannada while retaining parental choice. This aims to improve access to English education, especially in rural areas, and address declining enrolment in government schools. The initiative builds on a phased rollout since 2019-20 and emphasizes continuous teacher training, including collaboration with the British Council, to ensure effective implementation without removing Kannada-medium instruction.
