Another factoid that I gleaned from informed sources (my wife) is that it is apparetly dad easy to obtain licences for Kannada schools, but the schools end up trying to teach (in) English because people want that and pay more for that. OTOH facilities for teaching in English are nearly non existent in some schools.
Need to look at the fine print - but I don't have access to that. shiv On Mon October 2 2006 4:56 am, Nishant Shah wrote: > It suddenly struck me...does this affect your parents' school as well? > > Nishant > > On 9/28/06, Kiran Jonnalagadda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 28/Sep/2006, at 9:42 PM, Devdas Bhagat wrote: > > > These schools were licensed to teach in Kannada as the primary > > > medium of > > > instruction.
