Govt disappoints Reteng over languages.

The chairperson, Dr Ndana Ndana, said this in an interview with Mmegi in response to a recent decision by the Ministry of Local Government to enrol children living in Remote Area Dweller settlements in a pre-primary programme to teach them Setswana and English. This move is meant to combat the high failure rate among students living in these areas, credited to them only encountering Setswana and English-languages of instruction at schools.

Ndana has labelled this move by government as "a step-backward" and leaving no future for indigenous languages.
