Abstract

The growth of any country depends upon the growth of science and technology of that country. In the world of knowledge, language plays a vital role in imparting knowledge.Language use in education has been an issue in a multilingual set up dominated by a colonial language, such as English which has become an over pervading effect because of its global stature vis-à-vis regional language/vernacular. A student who had studied up to high school in regional language finds it very difficult to cope up with the science education at intermediate/plus two stage and further on, compared to an English medium student. As a result of this many students drop out of education. Science education at the school level and at the higher education are not in contiguous relationship due to which the students switching over from the secondary level to higher secondary level faces many problems and there are many drop outs every year. They have to deviate from their chosen path and one of the impediments is language issues, particularly switching from regional language medium to English language medium. The paper aims at this issue and need to be addressed properly by administrators, planners, educationists, linguists, etc.
