Localization of Instruction as a Right in Education

Abstract

In this chapter, we will explore the relationship between choice of Language of Instruction (LoI) and quality learning, as well as the implications of this choice for children’s rights in education. We raise the question of why two African countries, Tanzania and Nigeria are disregarding evidence that local LoI is essential for both learning and identity. Our intention is to contribute new perspectives to policy debates concerning language choices in education. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
