The debate about languages of instruction in Africa and Asia involves an analysis of both the historical thrust of national government and also development aid policies. Using case studies from Tanzania, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, India, Bangladesh and Malaysia, Zehlia Babaci-Wilhite argues that the colonial legacy is perpetuated when global languages are promoted in education. The use of local languages in instruction not only offers an effective means to contextualize the curriculum and improve student comprehension, but also to achieve quality education and rights in education. Evidence that science literacy is better served through local languages and adapted to local contexts is put forward with a new vision for science learning that invests cutting edge technologies with local context. This vision is crucial to the African and Asian development on their own terms and should take its rightful place as a human right in education"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Native language and education $z Africa. 650 0 $a Native language and education $z Asia. 650 0 $a Science $x Study and teaching $z Africa. 650 0 $a Science $x Study and teaching $z Asia. 650 0 $a Right to education $z Africa. 650 0 $a Right to education $z Asia. 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Curricula. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Multicultural Education. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Human Rights. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Developing Countries. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Native language and education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033925 650 7 $a Right to education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01097911 650 7 $a Science $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108387 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 $a Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240495 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in global citizenship, education and democracy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014129450 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214013135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE47A7C8FCE711E799AF106097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
