Improving education quality: The language factor


January 11, 2010:
Using mother tongue instruction has been recognized as a major factor for improving educational access and quality in African formal and non-formal education systems. This has been demonstrated by a range of studies, including a comprehensive analysis of policies, research and practice on bilingual education and mother-tongue instruction commissioned by ADEA, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong learning (UIL) and the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) for a conference organized in Windhoek, Namibia, in 2005. Next week, the Ministry of Education of Burkina Faso, ADEA and UIL will be holding the ‘African Conference on the Integration of African Languages and Cultures into Education’ that will look into key issues that need to be addressed for the successful implementation of effective multilingual education policies. The main expected result of the conference is a multilingual education policy guideline approved by Ministers of Education. Delegations from 25 African countries including Ministers of Education and technical experts are expected in Ouagadougou, as well as representatives of development and cooperation agencies.
