Department of Public Instruction (DPI), Mysuru writes to higher-ups to increase intake in Karnataka Public Schools (KPS) to meet demand for admissions for English medium classes
Demand for English-medium classes in government-run schools is surging even as the office of the Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) in Mysuru has sought the nod of the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), Bengaluru to increase the number of sections to accommodate an increase in students.
Mysuru district has 12 Karnataka Public Schools (KPS) that offer English-medium classes from LKG to class 12.
As against the permitted intake of students, there has been an increase in demand for seats in KPS. The intake is 35 but the number of applications is over 80 in almost all the schools. In some cases, the number of applications have crossed 100.
As authorities are unable to meet the demand, they are facing a demand to increase the number of seats.
Deputy Director of Public Instruction Ramachandra Raje Urs told The Hindu that the issue has been brought to the notice of the head office in Bengaluru. The schools have sought permission to increase intake to accommodate all the applicants.
The demand for admissions is exceptionally high at KPS in Ravandur in Periyapatna taluk; Hebbal in K R Nagar taluk; Siddaramanahundi and Yelwal in Mysuru taluk. Siddaramanahundi is the birthplace of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
