Dear Albert, Thanks for your writeup. Yes the education in Goa is going down hill with many of the youth giving up on education after reaching 5th std as they cannot learn the english which is taught from there on. It is easier to teach an younger mind, but by 5th std, the mind is already corrupted and what we call botto is what we get.
Since the time the education was switched to konkani ( devanagri) medium its the youth of Goa who have suffered. What could have been the motive? maybe the guys who thought of this switch were futuristic thinkers of Goa, and had assumed this situation will prevail, and hence gradually they can start devanagri upto higher grades, where by depriving the minorities of education? and make Goa a prosperous state only for the majority????????? No wonder many private English medium schools are cropping up in Goa, but only the people with money will be able to afford sending their children to these schools. But in the end, will they be able to get Government jobs???? Years back, Nehru the first Prime Minister of India had said that Goa is a land of Ayas, cooks and buttlers, well seems his words will be true after all even for the future???????
