| Summary: | Part 1 addresses why we should care
about LoI (Language of Instruction) issues and the major
challenges involved. Its four sections are entitled: (i) why
should we care (ii) how big is the problem (iii) the role of
political economy; and (iv) diverse LoI contexts. Part 2
presents existing solutions (in section 5) and proposes a
detailed way forward for the WB Education Global Practice
(section 6). It should be noted that the paper does not
claim to possess or propose a complete set of technical
solutions for the myriad of difficult policy issues
involved. By enhancing engagement and devoting adequate
resources to the problem, existing solutions will be
deployed, and new solutions devised. Increased partnership
and knowledge sharing will be part of this, as will be the
testing of innovative approaches. The new approach will
involve learning at the individual and institutional level,
with an intensity of engagement commensurate with the
urgency of the issue. |
