However, the teachers and authorities say they have e not still received any official instructions to do so. In many classes run by the City Municipal council and even in near by villages like Kalakeri Nidugane primary schools the teachers started teaching “ABCD” to first standard children. In many other classes the admission process itself is not still completed. In some schools, the process is delayed due to the recent 10th exams in the classes. The students in a small village like Kalakeri Nidugane where almost all the students came from poor families have started learning “twinkle Twinkle little star”. The schools have not received Govt. circular so for connecting to the English teaching..But, in good faith, the school administration has started the teaching. The poor students are happy to pronounce the language which was made desert to them.
