The federal government has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining English as the primary language of instruction in schools, despite the country’s rich linguistic diversity.
This stance was emphasized by the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa during the British Council’s Language in Education Conference yesterday in Abuja, where stakeholders discussed the role of language in promoting inclusive education.
The two- day conference featured discussions on innovative approaches to language teaching, including the use of digital tools and teacher training programs and is themed, “Language, Education and Inclusion: Empowering every learner”.
