The education ministry decided to set up an English medium school in each district. But I do not think it is a solution to the problem of English education because only the privileged class will be benefited from this.

The ministry could take some steps which would help to improve English education for all. For example, a teachers' training college could be set up only for English teachers, or the curriculum could be updated by taking assistance of international consultants.
