Language And Learning In Zambia The African Symposium Vol. 4 No. 1 March 2004. THE STATUS OF THE INDIGENOUSLANGUAGES IN INTITUTIONS OF LEARNING IN ZAMBIA PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE http://www2.ncsu.edu/ncsu/aern/manpisi.html
Extractions: University of Zambia During the colonial period, missionaries came and settled in various parts of the country. They opened churches, hospitals and schools. What one can state without any fear of contradiction is that the drive for evangelisation proved extremely successful because the missionaries used local languages. The bible and other Christian literature were translated into the local languages. People chanted hymns in the language they understood best ie. Their own local languages, and even in the school s the medium of instruction was in their own local language at least up to the 4th grade. Because of this, there was a wealth of literature in the local languages. The status of a Zambian Language in the education system has been eroded by the low rating accorded to it by the public at large. Very few tertiary institutions accept Language as an entry qualification, except in very special circumstances. Educator are now putting forward a case to have children taught in their mother tongue or in the prevalent local language of the area for the first four grades. It is argued that children can only learn best in the language that they understand best and after that they can be in a better position to learn in another language. This obviously means that the training of teachers for lower primary schools the writing of curriculum materials for lower primary schools and the posting of teachers would have to take account the language map of the country.
