Some of the excerpts from his question / answer session in his book.
Q. The highest spoken language in the entire world is English. So my child must study in English Medium only..?
A. This belief is totally wrong. The highest spoken language is Chinese, spoken by 97 crores, second is English which is spoken by 48 crores and the third one is our national language Hindi, spoken by 44 crore people.
In the developed countries of world such as Japan, France, Germany, Russia, China etc., total education is given in mother-tongue only, because if you have total control over your mother-tongue, it would be easy to understand other languages and subjects.
English should be taught as a subject not as a medium.
Q. Those who had their primary education in Gujarati medium, later during higher studies they have to study in English, this way, the higher education becomes tough for them.
A. Again, this is a belief having mistakes in it.
This question arises, when your child becomes a teenager. Now, thinking about college education, why should we put burden on a 2.5 – 3 years old child, when English language would be totally new to him? And, we can always teach him English as an additional language when he becomes a teenager.
