The Uttar Pradesh government has converted 15,000 primary and upper primary schools into English medium, with a view to modernise the education system. The move is aimed at honing English speaking skills of children studying in the government schools, right from the beginning, so that they can compete with missionary and convent school students. Nearly 1.83 crore children are studying in more than 1.5 lakh primary and upper primary schools in the state. In Lucknow alone, around 60 primary and upper primary schools have been converted into English medium schools. In every block, two or three schools have been developed much like the private schools.
