As someone that served in the North, this is a bad idea. When they get to jss1, it will be very difficult to transfer knowledge with English language. I saw a whole lot of jss1 students that couldn't write or even speak good English. They always prefer Hausa. This will only make them productive within Hausa speaking areas. This is a bad idea. 2 Likes |

LastSurvivor11: What obtains outside Nigeria is that you learn English and work. You will hear people with atrocious English but are very intelligent and knowledgeable. I admit it's a barrier because a lot of international companies want you to be able to communicate in a business language. However, if you have no plans of that happening, why bother? |

darocha1: You have a point bro but you should know an average Lagos child speaks and can comprehend English but I can't say the same of an average northerner. My point is if they ain't careful those kids might never be able to speak or understand the official language and when they travel out of there comfort zone they might never get to interact with the outside world. 2 Likes |

johnmattew: All of those countries have one unified and standardised language which they use as their language of instruction despite having minority ethnic groups. And even at that, they still learn English at least from secondary school level Do we all speak Hausa in Nigeria? By the way an Arab in Lebanon and an Arab in Saudi Arabia speak completely different dialects of Arabic, yet they still learn the same official version. Imagine if the Lebanese government said that all the kids had to learn Lebanese at school to make it easier for them, don't you see how stupid that would be? Even if they just travel for Hajj, they won't even be able to get to Mecca because they won't be able to read any of the signs 1 Like |

heilige:Most of y'all shouting Chinese chinese Chinese are mostly ignorant of the fact that chinese has several languages in their country . Their official language is Mandarin which some in core villages have to learn so as to communicate with their fellow chinese. If those children are taught in Hausa, when will they begin to communicate with their fellow Nigerians talk more of the outside world. 1 Like |

johnmattew: That is totally wrong in a federation with a national language They are supposed to teach Hausa as a language subject and leave English as the language of instruction If they care so much about Hausa language they should make it a compulsory class and ensure that all the children pass it Why do we always do things upside down in this country |

Are you kidding me! The initiative in itself is a good move. The question should have been, would their new educational design/direction be effective? which I doubt, but I could be wrong. İt would be difficult for them to compete internationally? Can they not learn English as another language? Are the Germans, the Finnish, the Danish not competing internationally enough. İf our teachers are good enough we could learn English as another language. At Middle East Technical University, Turkey, the students attend English preparatory school for one year prior to their program, and some of them become quite fluent in that short period of time if they take it seriously and practice. Some of these guys speak English more fluently than a lot of Nigerians that have known English all their lives. With all the 'English speaking country' tag, you still have to take TOEFL or İELTS to be accepted for admission in a lot of schools out there. Again the problem is not about our education being in any local language. İt's the efficiency of a design that centers around a local language that we should worry about. You should be asking questions like, how is it going to work out? Honestly though, in this age adopting a local language as the language of instruction, especially at the tertiary level will probably not work considering our level of sophistication. This is a project that should have began 30/40 years ago. The political ramifications of this are not very good though. LastSurvivor11: 1 Like 1 Share |

psalmuelwater: This not about transferring knowledge, this is about respect and national sovereignty People shouldn't be able to come here and do whatever they feel like just because we have some problems In Britain before you are granted citizenship you must take an English test because they don't want people wandering their streets constituting nuisances just because they couldnt be bothered to understand their way of life If the Chinese guy is smart enough to construct whatever in our country he should also be smart enough to learn our national language so that he will be able to communicate with his client. Or is he too big to talk to us? Just because he's building one year one block somewhere? |

There is no need to condemn this action, considering it will be only used in primary 1 and 2. There's nothing new under the sun, we should learn to be accepting to others. Also, the use of their mother's tongue to teach and learn will enable the children to develop and understand what education is all about. Countries such as: China, korea, Japan etc, uses their language to teach at schools. So it's nothing new. 1 Like 1 Share |
