LUCKNOW: The Rashtriya Swayemsewak Sangh is not amused with Yogi government’s plan to start 5,000 English medium schools at primary level from the coming academic session. Focusing on English alone will not do any good to primary students, feel RSS functionaries, who instead want the focus to be on mother tongues like Marathi, Telugu, Hindi, etc.

RSS insiders said that the government should focus on imparting education in mother tongues and English should be taught just like any other language.

The issue is likely to be discussed during the RSS-Yogi government coordination meeting scheduled to be held on Tuesday.

Senior RSS functionary and joint general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, RSS-BJP coordinator Dr Krishna Gopal, national joint general secretary (organisation) Shiv Prakash and provincial secretaries will attend the coordination meeting. Chief minister Aditya Nath Yogi and deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Dinesh Sharma will represent the UP government. State party chief Mahendra Nath Pandey and organisation secretary Sunil Bansal will also attend the meeting.
