Bilingual education

Bilingual education, the significant use of two languages in the basic educative process, typically has been viewed as often necessary but always unfortunate.  This opinion is forcefully been expressed since the oft-quoted report on the UNESCO-sponsored meeting of specialists on the use of vernacular languages in education, convened in Paris in 1951. Since this meeting, the experts have argued that a child's home language is the best possible medium of instruction in formal education. The report went on to say that:

  "It is axiomatic that the best medium for teaching a child is his mother tongue. Psychologically, it is the system of meaningful signs that in his mind works automatically

for expression and understanding. Sociologically, it is a means of identification among the members of the community to which he belongs. Educationally, he learns more quickly through it than through an unfamiliar linguistic medium". (UNESCO, 1953: 11)

When vernacular education has been questioned, it has been on grounds of feasibility rather than preference. In his review of the UNESCO Monograph, Bull (1955) points to the staggering problems of implementation (very many minor languages, extensive number of languages not written, severe lack of adequate teaching materials, limited availability of trained teachers, etc.), and concludes that there is no possibility of a significant increase in vernacular education in the present century. Further, he added that:

What is best for the child psychologically and pedagogically may not be what is best for the adult socially, economically, or politically, and, what is even more significant, what is best for both the child and the adult may not be best or even possible for the society

which, through its collective efforts, provides the individual with the advantages he cannot personally attain. It would seem, appropriate, as a consequence, to contemplate the fact that while getting educated is a personal matter, in contrast, providing a modern education is a social enterprise. (Bull, 1955: 290)
