Under the new initiative, the civic body has decided to gradually introduce English-medium education across all its primary schools from the current academic year, with the aim of providing children from economically weaker sections access to quality English-medium education. In the first phase, Nursery-I classes have been launched in 51 schools.

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has received an encouraging response from parents after introducing English-medium Nursery-I classes in its primary schools for the first time. Despite the admission process beginning later than planned due to delays in obtaining government approval, 928 children have secured admissions to the English-medium nursery classes across 51 municipal primary schools.

The response highlights the growing confidence of parents in the quality of education offered by municipal schools.
