Dear Friend Goa cannot provide job opportunity to you. So one needs to move out of Goa for a job. Today lots of foreign companies have outsourcing .One prefers a smart person in their establishment . Most of the companies use English as a medium for transactions. Most of the students coming from Marathi or konkani medium lack the ability to understand English and to speak it out clearly. If the English teachers themselves have to waste time teaching students a new subjects then where is there a time to make them speak, write and understand English? Today many want to settle abroad. When one goes to US they will not appreciate our degrees and so you are rejected. Then if you are given a test you tend to fail. If you have a job in a call centre one must be able to talk in English and hindi clearly. So a firm basic English background will go a long way. Take for example of people in Austria, Italy, Switzland, Germany. The medium is German. All the three countries use German and Itlay uses I think German and Italian. But these countries are self sufficient as far as jobs are concerned and so the students studying over here can get a job without English because most of the transactions are done in German.I hope I am clear. We need not only English Medium of Instructions but we need to modernise our teaching system. We should weed out marathi speaking fanatics from the educational system . Many people working in the Government educational department cannot draft a simple circular. They first write it in Marathi and then translate it in English. Many times they themselves cannot read what they have written. albert
