I’m of the opinion that basic (Primary) language should be in mother tongue.

As far as difficulty in adopting English is concerned, my personal experience says its not the case, I started studying English form Class Six (from A, B, C), upto class 5, I didn’t know even the Alphabets of English. We kept on studying everything in Sindhi including Maths, Physics, Bio, Chemistry, etc till 10th Class. But I didn’t get it difficult, when we have to study these subjects in English at college level, because 5 years of Enshlis as a subject and English terminologies in science subjects (that were were studying in Sindhi) had made our base.

But ultimately you had to shift to English so whats the point of doing it in another language first?
And it may not have been difficult for you but I knw a lot of kids who had difficulties transferring to English medium schools.
