Education in mother tongue

[Santosh Gedam]

Dear All,
Article 350 (A) of the constitution directs primary education to be
given in the mother tongue of the students. Also Article 350 (B)
mandates appointment of Linguistic Minority officer. But it seems
nowhere this directive has been implemented.
This is the only reason that today several of tribal languages are on
the brink of extinction. Also, the tribal are forced to study
something which is alien to them.
Any Advocate in the group, if you could throw more light on the subject?

Justice seems to be selective and eluding those who need it the most -

its very true that anything taught in mother tongue is well understood by the students and people as every one has affection for their mother tongue. problem will come when you don't have suitable word in your tongue or word which can not be remembered easily (e.g. train - लोहपथगामिनी, LED - द्विप्रस्थ ).  this problem can be solved by adopting words as it is or in modified form in our language (English language has many words from Latin, Greece, french, Hindi too.) secondly bringing knowledge from other languages to our mother tongue by translating and preserving our knowledge in written form in our language and promoting at large scale.

<Indigenous peoples & boarding school : A comparative study. By United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

“ In 1986, the National Policy on Education specified that:

1) India will prioritize opening primary schools in tribal areas.

2) Curricula will be developed in tribal languages for primary grades and switched to regional languages in later grades.

3) Tribal youth will be encouraged to become teachers in tribal areas.

4) Ashram/residential schools will be developed on a mass scale in tribal areas.

5) Incentive schemes, in keeping tribal peoples’ special needs, will be developed to encourage them to attend school.”

 

However, scholars report that problems still exist in Ashram schools.

a) These schools are often inadequately furnished and supplied.

b) The curriculum is often not relevant to the lives and cultures of tribal peoples.

c) Teachers often come from non-tribal backgrounds and are inadequately skilled.

d) Children are inadequately nourished, and are often frequently absent in order to fulfill social roles within their communities.

e) Children complain that hostels are not well-maintained and that the food and supplies are of very poor quality.

             

            f) In addition, scholarships and school supplies often do not arrive in a timely fashion. >
