Looks like DMK still holds on to the 2 language policy and does not support the imposition of the third

Put in your 2 cent's worth here and share your experiences abt schooling in general. Particularly, usurping vernacular languages in favour of English as medium of instruction.
Let's hear it!!
It is high time... that all the World Governments... understand and well- realise... as well as FORESEE...
..that the present FAST trend is GLOBALISATION..... in all spheres, one after another.
..especially in Science, Engineering and Technology fields.
And the future World will be the SCIENTIFICALLY and INDUSTRIALLY ADVANCED Nations all over the Globe....
Most of the Careers will be Technical, Commerce and Trade oriented.
...with ample chances for Scientific advancements... unlike the present era.
Even Farming and Agriculture will be so advanced that just with a few Technical employees... vast Field- areas can be managed.
And the Uneducated will be CONDEMNED by the Society... beause there will be pratically NO EMPLOYMENT for the UNSKILLED Labourers.
..since all the Operations will be MECHANISED... or COMPUTERISED.
..because of Time-demands and FAST RESULTS.
Employment for every world Citzen... at one or the other stage of Career, will be in one or more different countries... apart from his Nation of birth.
So one common World Language.. preferably for Science-knowledge.. just to understand at least.. is quite IMPERATIVE..
...and that can be ONLY ENGLISH...
YES... MULTI-LINGUISTIC Europian settlers in USA.. realised it LONG LONG AGO.
Japan and China... is realising it now.. too late.
No doubt everyone's Mother tongue should be the Top-priority ..TO BEGIN WITH.!... during Elementary School studies mostly.
But the Subjects of MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE... must be taught through ENGLISH MEDIUM ONLY..... from the High School classes...
...for ALL THE GLOBAL STUDENTS... henceforth...
..if we are REALLY WISE enough with FORE-SIGHT.!!!
