English could soon become the principal medium of instruction in all schools.


The House committee on education has endorsed a bill changing the present bilingual policy in schools and requiring that English be the principal medium of instruction, from grade school to the tertiary level.


The only exception would be when Filipino is taught as a subject. 


English would also be promoted as the medium of interaction among pupils and students.
