Speaking to media, Minsiter Pegu said, “We have decided to make textbooks of Science and Mathematics for classes 6 and 7 bilingual. In the same textbook, in one page the content will be available in English and in the other page the content will be available in mother-tongue.”
Recently the government had come under fire from various organizations for their decision to teach Science and Mathematics in English from Class 6 onwards. The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) had called for a series of protests against the move and effigies of Pegu were burned in Golaghat.
Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) also staged a 3-hour sit-in protest against the decision.
