National Languages Day receives mixed feelings

The chairman of RETENG - a coalition of the so-called minority languages - hopes that the annual commemoration of the National Languages Day since 2008 "would be a stepping stone" towards the realisation of an inclusive language policy and a multi-cultural school curriculum which caters for all the languages in the country.

He says that the ideal thing is for the various languages in the country to be designated part of the medium of instruction and therefore propelled into the public domain.
