Gradually , we will change the medium of instruction to English in all classes,\u201c Pandey said.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said it would take a few years to complete the mammoth exercise. \u201cNew books in English will have to be arranged for students. We may have to appoint new teachers or train the ones already employed for smooth transition,\u201c he said. Meanwhile, the government has taken several small but consistent steps to ensure students in government schools embrace English.Pandey said state-owned schools have recently been sent a list of 75 common English sentences which they have to incorporate in their daily class routine.\u201cOnce children start learning small new sentences and words, it will be easier for them to pick up complex words later when the medium of instruction changes,\u201c he added.<\/p>\n<p>The list of sentences has been prepared by the State Council of Educational Research &amp; Training (SCERT) and includes greetings and small talk.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the sen Some of the sentences in the list are: \u201cMy apologies\u201c, \u201cHave a good weekend\u201c, \u201cI am obliged\u201c and \u201cWhat a nice day\u201c.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more <\/em>at:<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/dehradun\/uttarakhand-govt-schools-will-teach-in-english\/articleshow\/59378814.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TOI<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/dehradun\/uttarakhand-govt-schools-will-teach-in-english\/articleshow\/59378814.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TOI<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uttarakhand has drawn up an ambitious plan to shift the medium of instruction from Hindi to English in the approximately 18,000 government schools in the hill state.
