Aashan said the education department had approved the introduction of English-medium classes from Class I to IV in municipal schools. Ulhasnagar: The Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) has received approval from the state education department to introduce English-medium education in its municipal schools, with plans to gradually extend the facility up to Class X. The initiative aims to provide affordable quality education to students from economically weaker families who cannot afford the fees charged by private English-medium schools. The proposal was pursued by mayor Nikam and Shiv Sena corporator Durga Rai.
However, the civic administration will need to ensure the appointment of qualified English teachers and provide adequate classroom infrastructure to implement the programme effectively. The phased expansion is expected to create more educational opportunities for students who otherwise have limited access to English-medium schooling.
