Overview

• A July 8 circular from the Directorate of Education mandates that each class offer at least one section teaching all subjects except regional languages in English.
• Admission to English-medium sections will be based on students’ willingness and aptitude, according to the directive.
• Schools must secure adequate English-language textbooks and teaching materials before the start of the 2025–26 academic session.
• All changes must be recorded on the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) to ensure transparency and compliance.
• District and zonal authorities will monitor implementation and provide support as the English-medium sections expand up to Class 12.
