Analyst Questions New Language Policy
Education Policy Analyst Kwamina Taylor has raised concerns about the practicality of implementing the Ministry of Education's new directive.
The directive makes local languages the compulsory medium of instruction in all basic schools across Ghana.
The question is, though this is a good policy, the implementation will be a challenge. Is it the teacher's mother tongue or the pupil's?
Taylor acknowledged that research supports the idea that pupils taught in their mother tongue perform better in comprehension.
- The initiative is described as "a very good policy in general."
- Ghana's linguistic diversity with over 80 major languages could make uniform implementation difficult.
