Karnataka to Introduce Bilingual Education in All Government Schools by 2027
The Karnataka government plans to implement bilingual education in all state-run schools by the 2027-28 academic year, offering instruction in both Kannada and English from Class 1. Currently, about 9,500 schools provide bilingual classes, with over 10,000 teachers to be recruited and trained to support the expansion. The initiative aims to improve English proficiency while preserving Kannada, increase government school enrollment, and respond to parental demand for English-medium education. The government is preparing infrastructure and learning materials to facilitate this transition.
