WHY DO PARENTS PREFER ENGLISH MEDIUM THAN MALAYALAM MEDIUM SCHOOL ?

                    Nowadays most of the parents prefer to send their children in English medium school than Malayalam medium school . One of the main reasons for this is the lack of good infrastructure in government schools . Though government provides high qualified teachers , teacher - student ratio is very high . The atmosphere and other technological facilities are poor in government schools . Transport facilities also becomes a hindrance for admitting students into Malayalam medium schools .

                   Children at large are taking admission in private schools . It is widely accepted that private schools are imparting better quality education than government schools . It is very unpleasant to say that even government teachers prefer private schools for their children . Though it is an individual right to choose better
education for their children but the question is why government schools cannot impart quality education . The government of India is allocating thousands of cores of rupees for improvement of education in the country , but everything is going to in vain . No one is bothering about decreased student enrollment in government schools .
                   Parents send their children into English medium schools because English today have become the must of the society . By studying English they can easily outshine others . But it is a wrong notion children study in English medium are faring well when compared to the children study in regional languages . Intelligence of a student does not related to the medium of instruction , it is revealed that students who study in regional languages fore better when compared to the student of English medium .

                 Sometimes parents do over emphasize English language . They  link standard of teachers in English medium far better than government run schools . Computer education and number of extra - curricular activities are better in English medium schools . But economically weaker sections of society cannot afford an English medium school for their children . We can believe that the decreasing student enrollment in government schools is the failure of our education system .
                 Declining the enrollment of students in government schools have many reasons . Some shift to private schools might be largely related to the poor quality of education offered in government schools , since it is free or offered for a nominal fee . It is disclosed that most of the government schools in India lack basic facilities of toilets and drinking water .In case a student wants to go to toilet he goes back home .It is one of the biggest reasons for high drop out rate of girl students . Many of the government schools even do not have a good play ground . Students do not get much attention from teachers as the ratio between students and teachers are high . These are the some of the reason for the collapse and failure to produce results and how private schools prove themselves better as compared to government schools .
                 Some have the opinion that medium of instruction at school level has to be in mother tongue . Which is well accepted perhaps , no where in the world , other than Mahatma Gandhi , Tagore and such other great personalities have always stood for education through mother tongue .
                A child grows seeing and understanding things his mother tongue .So it is only natural that he understands things better through that medium . English is foreign to him . He has to understand the language first , then only he can understand the contents . Examples presented through English medium mat not be familiar to him . Only through pictures he can see them . But example from mother tongue will be something which he finds daily around him .
               
Conclusion: 
                We will not be a reason in spoiling the life of children . It is an advice to parents that shifting to private schools will not solve the issue . By knowing any kind of shortcoming related to education , you have to raise your voice . It might be against teachers , education officers or sometimes directors .Without doing all these , if we run behind the private schools than once all government schools will be vanished , which will create adverse impact on the Indian system of education . Quality of education needs to be improved in these schools . So that parents needs not face big holes in these pockets by paying fat school fees .
