Education In National Language!

I was always thinking to write on this topic since a moderator rejected my article to approve in his community due to some grammar mistakes in it. I thought to write an article on language and Thanks to Madam Jonica for providing the platform. Although I can write it in my national language which is the topic of my article but as my readers are mostly of other languages so I am writing this in English.

Education

We are forced to study English. I don't have any problem to learn English. Even I love to read and write in English. But problem is that they forced us to read every subject in English language. Even, maths, physics, biology and chemistry. My question is "Why can't we learn these things in our national language?" Though we could learn these things more easily in our national language.

Imagine "Americans or British learning these subjects in Spanish" Lol πŸ˜‚ why would they? Why we 3rd world countries are doing that? We have to learn English first then we will be able to learn Biology and chemistry. I don't know the mentality of these under devoloped countries. Why I said "underdeveloped"? Because no developed country will teach their students in other's language.

China is emerging as new super power. How he managed to be on top so quick? Because he preferred local manufacturing and local (national) language. Have you ever seen a Chinese President speaking in English at any international forum? No. He speaks in Chinese. They don't have any inferiority like we had in our country.

How Japan made itself a technology hub in a very short time? Even it was devastated by Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But it emerged as a technology hub in a short period of time. The countries who get freedom after Japan is still in progress. The only thing which makes Japan this strong is their language and culture. They preserved their language and culture. Even in the beginning, they made a rule for their people who left Japan were not allowed return to Japan for at least 10 years. This is because a foreign can inject a different language and culture to your society which they didn't want.

No nation in the 5000 years' history of civilization made progress by learning in some others' language. Because you can't be creative in someone's language. You just can learn someone's language. This leads me to my first point.

Creativity

You can't be creative in someone's language. Top 5 education system in the world are:

Source: edsys

The top 5 education system in the world are

  • 1. Finland

  • 2. Japan

  • 3. South Korea

  • 4. Denmark

  • 5. Russia

They are at top for a reason. They are giving their students education in their national language. They enhance their students' creative ability. Moreover these 5 are not native English.

English could be the standard for international conversation but it couldn't be the language of education.

Feeling

We can't express feelings in someone's language. The specific word for specific feeling can't everytime be translated in other language.

I don't why we have language inferiority in my country. We have fake standards of being educated. People of my country only believe someone to be educated if he can speak English fluently.

Some asian countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have this language inferiority. So the leaders did a stupid mistake. They converted the whole education system from their national language to English. They thought students were able to learn English language in their very early age and will not have this inferiority. Although they succeeded. Students are more fluent in English language here but what they lack is "Creativity".

I am not saying that southeast Asian people are not creative. They are creative. But these are limited. The leaders forgot the consequences of doing that. The gap between English speaking and other languages speakers are increasing. Which created hatred among them for each other. The native speaking guy calls English speaking guy a "Son Of English" considering it as "abuse".

On the other hand a person who can speak English fluently is not even ready to consider national language speaker an educated.

But why I am writing this nonsense? Aghhh... A 3rd world problem. πŸ™„πŸ˜’ Anyways I just wanted to express my feelings on this. And got an opportunity to write on this topic.

You can write on the topic "Language" in your own way. All you have to remember is

  • Write on "Language".

  • Write at least 600 words.

  • No Plagiarism.

  • Post it in community "Promptly Jonica"

  • Tag @JonicaBradley


Thanks for reading ☺️

I had been fortunate to take a taste of Japanese education for about two years during Oct 2000 and Mar 2002. It is pretty good and worth it.

Me and my friends are making some fun translating mathematical terms into Filipino language, and it is not helpful. Lol! But still, speaking in English doesn't defind your intelligence, but it is one of the major things that we need to learn.

Yeah. English is really important. Just like in Koreans, they have a hard time to study English language. Because, they prefer jobs with the used of English language and it it the international language.

It's important to learn the language of business which is English but then we should not force everyone to do the same. Our native language should not be forgotten because it's a part of our culture and that what makes us distinct to other countries.

Why? Because English is the only international language and used in commerce.

I think I agree with you on not forcing English language on other countries who prefer to speak in their mother's tongue. Here, even in my school, the lecturer allows student to communicate in Yoruba language because they aren't fluent in English language.

I have come to notice that people who can't express themselves well in English language can do perfectly fine in their own national Language.

Speaking in English or writing good in english doesn't make a man intelligent. It is not a fair measurement.

I'm glad that here in our country, we slowly are shifting ou way of teaching. We are now teaching Maths and Science in our mother tongue so the kids will appreciate our national language even at an early age.

Yup.. English should be learned as language. But entire education system and all subjects should be in our national language.

It's the same here. English is our mode of education. The thought was that we have to be able to compete internationally for English is the common ground of all. We also teach in school our national language and the native language. There are lots of languages in our country but I can only understand a few.

Other languages should be a plus... But our education system should be throughly in Our national for easy understanding. There should be separate classes for other languages and it should be optional.

Agree with you that the educational system in each country must work in its native language. I learned to speak English, and I appreciate it. It has been a plus in my life to speak English. But I wouldn't like to have received my education in English and not know the richness of Spanish.

I can only agree with you when you say it's a tragedy. The pride for our mother tongue shouldn't be negotiated.

The new curriculum in our country now teach in our own dialect or language. However, it got more confusing since everyone are used to English already.

One of the best ways of showing your patriotism is to cherish everything in your country especially your national language which you can apply in creating a good education as well. Kudos to these top 5 who are non-English speaking countries.
