As explained earlier, English has become a basic requirement in the competitive job market today. Catholics especially dalit catholics should not lag behind and be left out in this rat race due to lack of competence in English.
Moreover even poor people pay exorbitant fee to educate their wards in English medium schools. In the context of urbanization and commercialization of education, we need to show a different and people oriented approach by running English Medium schools. Let us give the best to the least who, otherwise, will be deprived of this opportunity.
English climate will definitely make a difference in learning the language. Keeping these things as the back drop, EMS has been started since 1968.
The following norms and guidelines are to be followed in starting and running of EMS.
Catholics are to be given priority in admission. Among Catholics, Dalits are given the first preference.
Since it is self-financing, fee structure is to be evolved in consultation with the management committee. It should not exceed the normal fees collected by other schools in the vicinity.
In order to maintain quality and better teaching learning climate, the class strength should not exceed 50. Good salary with all the other due benefits should be given to the staff. The exact salary and other emoluments can be fixed by the SEC and periodically reviewed. Province norms are to be followed in this regard.
The admission committee should ensure atleast 50% admission to catholics and dalits.
Twinning system could be followed in these schools. One rich boy/girl could sponsor the education of one poor boy/girl. All the fees for both could be collected at the admission time itself.
