Buhari govt approves local dialects as compulsory language of instruction in primary schools
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has Wednesday November 30th, 2022 approved a new National Language Policy which makes the local dialect a compulsory medium of instruction from Primary one to six.
Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, disclosed this while briefing correspondents on the outcomes of the council meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
According to him, “the government is aware that the implementation will be difficult, but the mother tongue will be used exclusively for the first six years of education while it will be combined with the English language from Junior Secondary School.
“even though the policy has officially taken effect, it can only be fully implemented when government develops instructional materials and qualified teachers are available.”
He said that the mother tongue to be used in each school will be the dominant language spoken by the community where it is located.
