Udru and English As Medium of Instruction

(b) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end.

     Whether the subject should be taught in English in our educational institutions or through the medium of our other tongue is one of the most important problems of the present day. There are quite a few points to be  considered in this connection. Those who oppose the introduction of English as a medium of instruction think that the subjects taught in English are not properly understood by the students. When they are not able to understand a point properly, they are evidently unable to express it properly. When they are compelled to write the answers in English, they feel pained. Hence they develop a sort of inferiority complex. This thing mars the growth of intellectual power and as a result their personality remains undeveloped. Thus they prove a complete failure in their lives. But that is not a sensible way of thinking. As a matter of fact, it is not simply the medium of instruction that counts in the educational affairs. There are some other factors as well to be taken into consideration of mind etc. Moreover, Urdu is still in a stage of infancy. It is impossible for it to compete with English and become mature enough to absorb suitable equivalents of technical terms before it is introduced as a medium of instruction. The change, of course, must be there, but it must be very gradual one.

Precis
     Whether Urdu or English should be a medium of instruction is a jigsaw puzzle. Some people favour it while the others oppose. The opponents think that the subjects taught in English are not properly understood by the students. This thing mars the growth of intellectual power of students. However, medium of cannot be blamed solely. Urdu cannot be applied as a medium of instruction because it has not substitutes for scientific and business terms of English. We would have to wait till Urdu matures enough to compete with English.
