Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end.
     Whether the subject should be taught in English in our educational institutions or through the
medium of our other tongue is one of the most important problems of the present day. There are quite
a few points to be  considered in this connection. Those who oppose the introduction of English as a
medium of instruction think that the subjects taught in English are not properly understood by the
students. When they are not able to understand a point properly, they are evidently unable to express it
properly. When they are compelled to write the answers in English, they feel pained. Hence they
develop a sort of inferiority complex. This thing mars the growth of intellectual power and as a result
their personality remains undeveloped. Thus they prove a complete failure in their lives. But that is not a
sensible way of thinking. As a matter of fact, it is not simply the medium of instruction that counts in the
educational affairs. There are some other factors as well to be taken into consideration of mind etc.
Moreover, Urdu is still in a stage of infancy. It is impossible for it to compete with English and become
mature enough to absorb suitable equivalents of technical terms before it is introduced as a medium of
instruction. The change, of course, must be there, but it must be very gradual one.
