Bangalore: Karnataka government is considering introducing a "three-tier" language formula, including compulsory teaching of Kannada, in primary schools, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Basavaraj Horatti said today. Teaching English from standard one in all schools and Kannada as a compulsory subject from standard three in all linguistic schools were also being considered, Horatti told reporters here. Horatti said compulsory teaching of Kannada was being considered to be implemented in all English schools started after 1994. He, however, added that the formula would have to be approved by the cabinet and if so, it would be implemented from the next academic year. Horatti also said an ordinance would be issued to streamline appointment and transfer of teachers.
