Under the decision, Punjabi would be the first compulsory language and the medium of instruction at all stages in Government schools. Hindi would be the second compulsory language from the fourth class, while English would be the third compulsory language from the sixth class.

An official spokesman told reporters that the issue of medium of instruction in the privately-run primary and other schools of the State, over which there are sharp differences between the Akali Dal and the Jan Sangh (the two ruling parties in Punjab), did not come up for consideration of the Cabinet.
