Karnataka to Introduce Bilingual Education in All Government Schools by 2027-28
The Karnataka government plans to implement bilingual education in all government schools by the 2027-28 academic year, starting from grade 1. Currently, about 9,522 schools offer bilingual classes, with over 10,000 teachers being recruited and trained to support this expansion. The initiative aims to improve enrollment and compete with private schools, especially after introducing LKG and UKG classes in many government schools. The rollout was delayed from the current year due to a shortage of trained teachers, with infrastructure preparations underway.
