ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN THE 8 MDGS
1. LANGUAGE CAN HELP ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY AND
HUNGER

- Kamba, chief of the Monzomboli village, became the

first in his community to attend adult literacy classes in
his mother tongue. After he read in one of the literacy
primers that soybeans are rich in protein, he
encouraged everyone in his village to plant them. He
later learned from another booklet about the
components of a proper diet, and again encouraged
his community to eat from each food group daily so
they could improve their health through nutrition.
2. LANGUAGE CAN HELP ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL
PRIMARY EDUCATION

SCENARIO: Victor, a bilingual primary school teacher in

the village of Santa Maria Ocotán, Mexico, wanted to
study the effect of mother-tongue education in his first
grade class. He taught his students all of their subjects
in Tepehuan, although most of the teaching materials
were in Spanish. Another first grade teacher used only
Spanish. At the end of the year, the test scores on the
standardized government tests for the students taught
in their mother tongue surpassed those for the
students taught only in Spanish, even though the tests
were in Spanish.
3. LANGUAGE CAN HELP PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY
AND EMPOWER WOMEN
SCENARIO: Margarita knows the impact of losing her mother
tongue and her cultural identity. Growing up in a small
Andean town in central Peru, she first learned to speak the
Quechua of her parents and grandparents. But when she
started attending school, her family insisted she speak only
Spanish, even at home. With difficulty, she learned enough
Spanish to complete five years of school before she had to
quit to care for her siblings and the family’s sheep.
Undaunted, Margarita studied at night to finish her primary
education and beyond, ultimately earning a university degree
in psychology. Using that knowledge and her skills, Margarita
founded a volunteer organization that provides social,
psychological and educational help to hundreds of displaced
and sometimes abused Quechua women and children—using
the language they understand best.
4. LANGUAGE CAN HELP REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY

SCENARIO: Basile has noticed an improvement in the

overall health of people in his Waama community in
Benin since the advent of literacy classes in his mother
tongue. People used to have long term illnesses, and
many children died in infancy. But when people
learned to read in Waama, they gained access to basic
health information in their own language. Mothers
learned the importance of going to health centers for
prenatal checkups and seeking treatment for illnesses.
Many Waama lives are being saved because crucial
health and wellness knowledge is now available in their
mother tongue.
5. LANGUAGE CAN HELP IMPROVE
MATERNAL HEALTH

6. LANGUAGE CAN HELP COMBAT

HIV/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER
DISEASES

7. LANGUAGE CAN HELP ENSURE

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
 8. LANGUAGE CAN HELP DEVELOP A GLOBAL
PARTNERSHIPS FOR DEVELOPMENT

SCENARIO: Through a dynamic partnership of various

groups around the world, speakers of several closely
related languages of Vietnam now have a font that is
usable on computers and the Internet. The new typeface
reflects the traditional hand-written Tai Viet script that is
used informally in several languages spoken in the
northwest provinces of Vietnam and surrounding areas.
The fonts originally created 20 years ago for this script are
incompatible with current computer systems. Participants
at a UNESCO-sponsored workshop in Vietnam in 2006
developed a standardized encoding for the script with
input from ethnolinguistic communities in Vietnam and
immigrant populations in other countries. Funding came in
part from the Script Encoding Initiative of the University of
California at Berkeley, and the Unicode Consortium
accepted the resulting encoding proposal.
 CONCLUSION

Role and Importance of Language to the Realization

of MDGs: A CONNECTING BRIDGE
ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN MDG'S IMPLEMENTATION.
FACILITATED BY: DIVINE GRACE TULLAO
 ICE BREAKER

• What do you think are the

issues or challenges that arises
in the implementation of
Millennium Development Goals
(MDG's)?
 TOP FOUR (ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN MDG'S
IMPLEMENTATION.

1.POOR STARTING CONDITION

2. WEAK GOVERNANCE AND INSTTUTION

3. CONFLICT AND INSTABILITY.

4. ENVIRONMEMTAL DEGRADATION.
• POOR STARTING CONDITION

Countries whose human

development indicators are at the
lowest levels must make the
greatest investments to achieve
the MDG's.
WEAK GOVERNANCE AND INSTITUTION

Government that are

unaccountable, inefficient, and/or
do not respect human rights make
growth and human development
much more difficult.
CONFLICT AND INSTABILITY

Conflict not only stops

development but reverses progress,
exacerbating hunger, poverty, and
disease and sharply increasing
rates of premature death.
ENVIRONMEMTAL DEGRADATION

Many developing countries face

heightened environmental risks.
Deforestation, overfishing, droughts,
and floods are long standing problems
in some regions.

BENEFITS OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

• All students have an equal right to education

• No children should be separated from main groups based

on discrimination

•Appropriate activities should be planned and each

student’s personal needs taken into consideration

•Support should be provided to all students to assist and

allow them to reach their full potential
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF INCLUSIVE BASIC EDUCATION?

without true significance, it
loses its purpose as a means of
communication and becomes
an end itself". - Karl Jaspers

PRESENTED BY: CHRISTINE M. SININING
WHY DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO ADDRESS
OR FIND RELATED SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUES
AND CHALLENGES OF INCLUSIVE BASIC
EDUCATION ?
MOTHER-TONGUE COMMUNICATION AND TEACHING:
Areas for action :

-Develop effective monitoring of

mother tongue language
programs to show policy makers
the benefits.

-Investing in multilingual
education is worth the cost.
POLICY

Areas for action :

-Document evidence that using multiple

Languages in education doesn't
encourage minority groups to work
against the state, instead it fosters social
and political harmony and peaceful
resolutions of disputes.
• LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING APPROACHES
Areas for action :

-Provide clear guidance to teachers and parents

on the differences between giving students good
language learning skills, and teaching the
curriculum in a language.

approaches to language learning.

- -Allow /request primary level exams to be

taken in different languages.
• TEACHER EDUCATION, RECRUITMENT AND DEPLOYMENT

-Create alternative routes into

teaching, e.g. on the job teacher
training to build up trainees
experience and education levels until
they can get accredited teacher
status.
• COMMUNITY AND PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Areas for action :

-Families should feel confident in

supporting their students to be achievers
in order to reinforce what they learned in
the classroom.
•WRITING SYSTEMS AND CURRICULUM MATERIALS

Areas for action :

-Encourage local education authorities

to work with minority language
communities to create their own
scripts and literary materials in line
with the national curriculum.
