It is highly foolish to introduce Tamil as the medium of instruction and do away with a language as important as English in today's world. The High Court rejected the G.O on the basis that it violated the Fundamental Right to Education, which includes the right of parents to choose the medium of instruction for their wards. Hence, the court termed the G.O irrelevant and arbitrary. Judges S. Jagadesshan, N. Dinakar and A.S Venkatachalmoorthy also pointed out that the G.O was passed without giving the petitioners a prior hearing. This is a triumph for the parents.
Parents have a right to choose the type of education they want for their children.
I don't think the government should impose any one system on parents. At the moment, the parents do look triumphant but are equally anxious about the next move of the state government. If it does, we shall do so and continue our child's education in the mother tongue- English . We shall start home schooling as in the States. They can then join regular schools from Class VI .
