On Friday, the founder of the Super 30 stressed on the need of teaching the students in Hindi so that they can grasp the subject in an easy and natural way. He was speaking at the IIT-KGP at the Hindi Diwas function organized by the institute.
“Hindi is a language most Indians are comfortable with, but imagine the kind of pressure we put on our children since they enter kindergarten. They speak one local language at home, Hindi and then English. It is the three language burden they carry. If they are taught one language that will make their life easier and boost their capacity to understand,” he said.
Anand also said that more than the language the subject matter is important. “If a child understands, he or she can do better and engage in classrooms. There is a consensus among educators, educationists and linguists that children learn most effectively in their mother tongues,” the Super 30 founder said.
Researches conducted by the UNESCO shows that “children who begin their education in their mother tongue make a better start and continue to perform better, than those for whom school starts with a new language,” he said.
Anand is a well-known mathematician whose Super 30 is famous for providing the IIT coaching to the students from the poor background. Since its inception, more than 500 students have made it to the various IITs.
