dc.descriptionLanguage policy, as it relates to primary education, is a reinforcement of the language policy on pre-primary education which states that; “Government shall ensure that the medium of instruction (at the level of pre- primary) is principally the mother tongue or the language of the immediate community”. The position of this paper is that the provisions of language for the early years of primary education should be implemented and enforced if Nigeria wishes to experience national development. This paper will also discuss how choosing an appropriate language of instruction (mother tongue) has positive implication for education in terms of increasing access and improving quality as well as enhancing national development.
