Underprivileged children do not get quality spoken and written English education despite it being essential for academic growth and employability
English is spoken by 1.5 billion people in the
world. It connects us with the world and
speaking the language has become essential to
be ready for the commercial sector of an
increasingly global India. It is the baseline
requirement for white-collar jobs. However, 75%
of class VI students in Delhi’s low-income schools
can’t read a class II English story and only 13%
can recognize alphabets. A weak foundation in
the language not only affects them academically
but also affects confidence levels and reduces
their future employability. Being a universally
known language, English bridges the gap
between cross-cultural interaction and gives us a
gateway to learn about various regions, cultures,
etc. Because of these reasons, English is a very
essential tool in today’s world.
