Gov't Ill-Prepared For Mother Tongue Rari

Rari’s observation contradicts Ministry of Basic Education senior officials, who just last week maintained that government will introduce mother tongue languages as the medium of instruction in selected primary schools in January, at a Ntlo Ya Dikgosi briefing.

He said while the implementation of the use of the mother tongue language as the medium of instruction would be a welcome development, BOSETU is worried that government has not prepared for the process and as such is not ready for the implementation of the initiative set for beginning of next year.
