Nigerian schools will soon start teaching primary school pupils in their native language

Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu informed journalists on Wednesday that the National Language Policy, a new framework, has been given the go-ahead for execution on November 30th 2022.

Nigeria will launch a policy to encourage the teaching of local languages to primary school students rather than English.

The minister believes that when students are taught in their native tongues, “they learn considerably better.” This has to an extent been proven true, but there are some problems.
