Read the passage below

There can be no doubt that to educate a child in a language which is not that of either of his parents tends to alienate him from his parents; to educate him in a language which is not one of the indigenous languages of the country tends to alienate him from the couture of country. If he grows up with one language for the school-room he may well develop a kind of dual personality, one side of which is being developed by the ideas which he encounters and the training he receives in school is scaled off in a kind of polythene bag from the side which makes the everyday social, cultural and moral decisions. In such a situation very often the child whom would respond creatively to his own situation does not do so well at school as the clever parrot. Education through the medium of foreign languages may encourage a kind of opportunism which is not prepared to give back an unselfish service to the community. Teachers in all the English medium universities and colleges which have been strutted or developed in the newly independent parts of the British Commonwealth have had to contend with their problem and from the main force of the argument for education in the vernacular derive.
