Although a reform, still uncertain in its application, has been announced, it is already facing many questions in a country where 625 local languages coexist.<\/p>\n<p>On November 30, Nigeria decided on a new national language policy that should make the mother tongue a compulsory language of instruction for primary school students, reports Vanguard Nigeria. The policy, spearheaded by the Minister of Education, was approved by the country&#8217;s Federal Executive Council (FEC) at a meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>In this country, which is a veritable linguistic mosaic, this reform aims to promote the use of Nigeria&#8217;s 625 local languages, according to Al-Jazeera. In fact, the first six years of school will be taught in the mother tongue. &#8220;Depending on the student, the language of the local community will be used,&#8221; the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, was quoted by the Qatari media as saying.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www-courrierinternational-com.translate.goog\/article\/reforme-le-nigeria-veut-delaisser-l-anglais-dans-l-enseignement-au-profit-des-625-langues-locales?_x_tr_sl=fr&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wappgues-locales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rael.maitreya\/posts\/pfbid02JH4iqnCUwmsScqyAfcAeQoXyJT9sitWiCuxr4AtzS9XShTiwMpWqY2xP3qw95Y67l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL&#8217;S COMMENT: An example of a policy to follow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":357833,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5628],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-357777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-raels-comments"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noproxy.rael.org\/sq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
