Global Issues in Language, Education and Development

Perspectives from Postcolonial Countries

Beschreibung

This book examines the role that language-in-education policy, historically, has played in shaping possibilities for development, within countries in the Sub-Saharan and South Asian regions. This discussion takes account also of the complex ways in which language, education and development, are linked to the changing global labour market.
