My intention here is to test whether the opinions of the parents meet the objectives of the Government and policy makers or not. The Government already declared that it had passed the order relating to the implementation of the policy of teaching English from the first standard on the basis of public demand. So, here I want to test in which conditions the parents are and what their perceptions are of this whole exercise related to teaching English language.
