Children Learn Better in Their Mother Tongue

Parents might be reluctant to enroll children in school because of a fear of failure. Some children might drop out from school when instruction wasn’t delivered in their mother tongue in the early grades.

UNESCO advises since 1953 for the early years to be taught in children’s first language.

 It is important to get family, community, multilingual teachers, policy makers and schools involved to achieve better education for all.
