Informing this at a press meet here on Wednesday Anil Kumar of CARDI said that English teaching in the schools being content-based the students were not able to cope with required level of communication skills in the global scenario.

“The IT sector itself needs over 3.5 lakhs fresh graduates by 2010 and to cater to this requirement we have to better our communication skills. All the top 10 booming sectors like BPO, insurance, retail banking and retail marketing insist on good communication skills and so the time has come to implement a change at the grassroot level,” he pointed out.
