Hello there,

Yes, Kannada can be taught as the first language to 1st standard students in schools where it is the regional or preferred medium. Many schools in Karnataka and Kannada-speaking regions offer Kannada as the first language option, especially in government and Kannada-medium schools. The choice of the first language depends on the school’s curriculum and the language preferences of the students and parents.
