Examining Ugandan and Malawian Language of Instruction Policies From a Linguistic Human Rights Perspective

Abstract

The language of instruction (LoI) policies of Uganda and Malawi provide an interesting landscape for the study of language in education in Africa. Ugandans and Malawians speak different mother languages, some closely related and others completely different from one another. However, English, introduced by the British, who ruled both countries for decades as colonial protectorates, is the language of power and privilege. 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.
