Zambia Episcopal Conference has urged government to immediately withdraw the introduction of local languages as a medium of instruction at lower primary in schools policy and engage in real consultations on it. The catholic bishops says the introduction of local languages as a medium of instruction at lower primary in schools, is proving to be a major challenge with respect to implementation. Teachers are not enough or trained to cater for the language diversity of our country. They said It is also unjust and a violation of human rights to force children to learn in local languages that are not their native languages. This arrangement will definitely advantage children who are native speakers of the language of instruction above their peers who are not.
