State govt allows over 300 new English schools
As more and more parents try to ensure their children learn in the English medium, the government has moved to increase the number of
schools teaching in this language. The state government has sanctioned over 300 new English medium schools on permanent no-grant basis in Maharashtra.

Of these, 38 schools would be opened in Nagpur division comprising six districts. Interestingly, out of these six districts, no new English-medium school has been granted for Bhandara. Nagpur division leads the chart with 18 new schools, followed by Chandrapur with nine and Wardha with eight schools. Gondia and Gadchiroli districts will get one school each.

The major cities in the state received the bulk of these schools with capital Mumbai and Thane leading the chart. Thane got as many as 93 schools. Other cities like Satara have got 23 schools, Nashik 18, and Aurangabad 14.

According to sources in the state education department, the government had received thousands of proposals for opening new schools this year, of which only 312 were sanctioned in the first lot. "Though the decision to open the schools came a bit late, it was not surprising as many of these belong to politicians who were exerting pressure on the government to sanction their proposals," sources said.
