To enhance the employability of college students, the state government is developing a programme aimed at offering free spoken English classes to government college students. The same will also be offered to teaching faculty, said MC Sudhakar, minister for higher education, on Saturday.

The minister during his maiden visit to Mangalore University said though Kannada is the official language of the state, knowing English has become the need of the hour for employment.

“Be it any industry, hotel or IT office, there is a requirement to know English for the job. For this the government will enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Wadhwani Foundation. The MoU is ready and will be signed soon,” he said. The Karnataka Higher Education Academy, Dharwad, will also train teachers in spoken English.
