Some people believe that their children should do educational activities during their Free time. Others say that in this way children are under pressure. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

English is often regarded as a global

language

which is spoken by the residents of many countries. Many schools promote learning English over other native languages due to which these local languages are on the verge of extinction. I believe it not necessary for all people to learn English and the traditional languages should be preserved by some strict rules and regulations. The primary cause of dying out of an old

language

as schools, hospitals and colleges.

Moreover

, many people believe being fluent or a master in English is an achievement, for which they pressurize the government to open English medium schools in their area.

Therefore

, peoples' interest in the mother tongue declined because of learning more English.

For example

, a recent study showed that Konkani, a

language

used in Mangalore, India lost 75 per cent of the speakers in the

last

25 years, where now almost all the schools are English medium. A possible solution for

this

problem is asking schools to include the mother tongue in the syllabus.

Furthermore

, if the government sets mandatory rules to include the local languages in the curriculum as a subject, students would learn these subjects for getting good grades.

For instance

, the Indian Government recently revised the National Education Policy, where they made local

language

as the medium of instruction, compulsory, in the schools. To conclude, even though English is the lingua franca of the world, it is not mandatory for success, and to help other languages from dying out, schools should teach these in the schools.
