Africa - Opis:
- In Africa, the use of African languages in education is often re-duced to a mere change of medium. This cannot work, as past experiences have amply shown and this rationale is even reinforced by globalization. The use of African languages in school must be buttressed on their inner strength, viz., local lore and orality. We suggest this can be achieved through a revamped and rebased primary schooling relying on the implica-tion of community members. This in turn could alleviate some of the short-comings formal education presently experiences. Such a change of frame-work is urgent, particularly in urban areas, to ensure transmission of linguis-tic and cultural legacies.
