Why education in native language is important?

Answer 1

It is much, much harder to learn anything when one is not being instructed in one's native language. Oddly enough, it isn't so much the technical terms--you can learn those quite easily, if you have a rudimentary grasp of the language you're speaking--it's more the effort required to constantly be processing a language that you don't speak as well as another. If your native language is French, but you've had a three or four years of instruction in English, throwing you into the middle of an American school and expecting you to be able to not only comprehend what's going on, but also process the information you're receiving (and effectively study for exams) is a tall order.

Answer 2

Education in a native language is important as it helps students develop a stronger foundation in their mother tongue, which in turn boosts their overall cognitive and linguistic skills. It also helps preserve cultural identity and heritage, as well as promote a sense of belonging and pride among indigenous communities. Additionally, research suggests that access to education in a native language can lead to better academic performance and increased retention rates among minority students.
