Description:
This book focuses on the emerging language-in-education issues and the lesser-known community initiatives to provide mother tongue-based pre-school or after-school education for indigenous children. It focuses on the historical context and the related experiences in Cambodia, Philippines, Southern Thailand and Malaysia. For indigenous children living in remote locations who generally experienced high dropout rates, multilingual program conducted first in home language can contribute to strengthened cognitive skills, enhanced self-confidence, greater engagement in class and better overall academic attainment.
