Being mother-tongue to none it requires teaching for one and all in our country and hence, it is important to strengthen its roots at a very early age. Exams like CASEC will definitely help Indians bring their English communication skills at par with other global nations. We were happy with the overwhelming response from the schools and are looking forward to greater reach in the second round to be launched soon", said Mr. Shwetank Upadhyaya, CEO at JIEM India.
