General

In India it is a belief, that if you want a good job, you need to speak English.

English has a very high educational value in India. That is why English is not only been taught but is used as a teaching medium or learning environment. Two states, Jammu and Kashmir and Nagaland, have made English the main language of instruction in all public and private schools. More and more states, such as Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Delhi, are offering an English learning environment as an option in existing state schools.

Total number of students enrolled in Grade 1 of lower secondary general education. General education is designed to develop learners’ general knowledge, skills and competencies and literacy and numeracy skills, often to prepare students for more advanced educational programmes at the same or higher ISCED levels and to lay the foundation for lifelong learning. General educational programmes are typically school- or college-based. General education includes educational programmes that are designed to prepare students for entry into vocational education, but that do not prepare for employment in a particular occupation or trade or class of occupations or trades, nor lead directly to a labour market relevant qualification.
