{UAH} Experts call for tough mother language policy

Experts call for tough mother language policy

Government has been asked to come up with a strict policy to enforce the teaching of lower and pre-primary classes in local languages.

This comes at a time UNESCO has warned that every two weeks a language disappears taking with it an entire cultural and intellectual heritage.

Statistics further show that at least 43% of the estimated 6000 languages spoken in the world are endangered.

James Kabogoza, a retired Assistant commissioner for children, in the ministry of gender and development says introducing a child to their local language early enough will help to preserve the language.
