Kolkata Loreto, how would you feel if someone called you Low-reto? Can English appropriate merit?NTT

This is definitely 'colonial hangover'. And not just Loreto, most of the convent schools/colleges has this tendency of shaping minds in such a way that we start considering 'fluency in English' to be the only parameter to judge someone's personality or ability. However, as we grow up we understand how knowledge is not bound to any particular language. English can be one of the mediums not the only parameter of education. Anyway, thank you for this video. Here's hoping parents/schools/young minds are able to understand this difference and we gradually get rid of this 'colonial hangover'.

To the people who are against the English language ....peace,go your way. Same people run to a specialist when in dire straits in regards to health ...so why can't certain institutes specialize in a language ? Everything can't be controversial!

Seems like certain institutions and organisations are still following the Macaulay's minutes of 1835 which made English as the sole medium of instruction and communication for the state. English speaking is a skill but not an identity of an individual. Language provides capability to a person to express himself or herself to the other. But making a certain language as a tool to filter out candidates in a revered institution like Loreto or any other for that matter is brazen and shall be called out in all quarters.

Can not agree more on this. Just want to add that all these statements hold good for Hindi as well. Lately, we have seen huge push from Central Govt to uplift and promote Hindi even at the cost of other languages.

​@@debapriyadey8828promotion of a language is not a problem until it is made the compulsory criteria. That shouldn't happen.

They're just saying out loud what is practiced in other institutions where English is the medium of instruction -which is to say most 'reputed' institutions. Fellow students from Hindi and Marathi backgrounds were on their own in a manner because they were directed towards material but it wasn't really handed to them the way it was English speaking students. I think institutes should take into account these factors and at the very least provide notes and presentations in Hindi and whatever the State language is. That should be made mandatory, especially in specialised courses where these students will go on to work in impactful areas like medicine, social work etc.

That’s pharaohs college! See architecture. Fully knights Templar’s work. Hello fellas. How’s it going. Long way from Egypt ain’t it?

[@SubirChakrabortyBSNL]

Presentation on this subject is not good for now.

I think Loreto is such a bad institute that they can't teach how to speak good English. Such a bad level of teachers.

In my city .. they're the one who have really mastered good command over English language tho and english is just a language..but it's good to learn English because it's a global language..and will make life easier in many ways...even academic books in english are best understood...govt should try to promote Hindi also tho..but make sure every school teaches English so that students don't have problem in future...or apply a Russia / china one language style but in a democratic country that would be difficult
