After assuming power in 1977 the Left Front decided against teaching of English in the primary level. So teaching of English started from Class VI. Again on the recommendation of the Ashok Mitra Commission , also appo inted by the State Government , teaching of English in primary schools started in the last year, that is from Class V . But in the meantime there was a rethinking on the issue and the Left Front Government appointed a one-man committee headed by Professor Pabitra Sarkar on April 13 this year . The committee was asked to recommend the class in the primary level that is suitable for starting the teaching of English to students. The committee was given two months time for submission of its report to the State Government But it was allowed extension of its tenure in view of the fact that it had to elicit opinion of more than two thousand people on the issue and go through volumes of notes , information collected from several States and also from abroad. The committee has , however, made no recommendation about holding any examination at the end of studies at the primary level but has suggested that the matter can be reviewed every five years..The State Government has , however , agreed to review the issue every three years. |
