The debate about languages of instruction in Africa and Asia involves an analysis of both the historical thrust of national government and also development aid policies. Using case studies from Tanzania, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, India, Bangladesh and Malaysia, Zehlia Babaci-Wilhite argues that the colonial legacy is perpetuated when global languages are promoted in education. The use of local languages in instruction not only offers an effective means to contextualize the curriculum and improve student comprehension, but also to achieve quality education and rights in education.

Zehlia Babaci-Wilhite is Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California-Berkeley, USA and a Research Affiliate at the Norwegian Center for Human Rights, University of Oslo, Norway. She has numerous publications and taught courses in Norway, Japan, India, France & Nigeria on issues related to language and culture, development & human rights.
