NEW DELHI: The Delhi government has decided to launch online ‘English and Personality Development’ programme daily for class 10 and 12 students. The programme is being launched in association with the British Council and Mac- Millian Education from Monday.
“No child should feel inferior for not being able to communicate. Hindi is our language… but we cannot overlook the importance and relevance of English in today’s world. To progress further at national and international level, our students should have good command over the language. And that is why we are starting the classes from coming May 4,” said Sisodia.
According to officials, about 2,70,000 students (class 10 and 12 combined) will be getting the link and will be able to join the course.
