There have been lot of controversies over the medium of education wheather English or mother language.
In the present day context the importance of English can't be denied rather the importance of the same has been immensely increased especially in the context of Bengal.
Our major activities are concentrated in the I.T.
Sector . Besides large number our young boys and girls proceed to the different I.T sectors of the country.
In I.T. sectors English is the first language. Apart from I.T.Sectors all sectors including corporate sectors where English is main language of working. Hence it's to be admitted that those who are strong in English they will not find any problem in discharging their duties.
This is the starting point of problem of middle class parents . They are very much after English medium for their children other wise they think their future will be spoiled. Even presently lower middle class parents are also after English medium.
The main advantages of English medium is the students gain a good speaking power and also writing power. It can't be denied that the students of English medium enjoy some advantages in getting job.
The same gives them confidence which yield In smartness.
The disadvantages are inadequate infrastructure and also costly education.
A large section students in our state read in Bengali medium schools. There is no reason to think that Bengali medium students will be less comfortable in English and I have seen number of boys and girls from Bengali medium are excellent both in writing and speaking .
In Kolkata a good number of Bengali medium schools those once were highly reputed now have been facing acute shortage of students .
