Shiv Sena MLAs presented the issue of dwindling Marathi medium schools as compared to English schools, its reasons and proposed action. In this discussion, even MLAs from other parties brought to the notice of the Government, deteriorating conditions of schools. Shri. Desai cited the example of St. Augustine School at Nerul, Navi Mumbai and position of Hindu students in that school. The minister replied that enquiry would be made. In reply to another question, the minister said that in last 5 years, 15 Marathi schools have been closed down as parents are interested in putting their children in English schools.
When asked about having control over English medium schools and the policy of the Government, the minister said that there would be certain yardsticks and the Govt. was also making efforts to encourage Marathi medium schools.
(With all the Govt. machinery at their disposal, the minister wants opposition members to produce lists. What is then the use of irresponsible ministers? – Editor)
