Funny how you did not write in your language. Trouble is, i hate when other people from ghana speaks their mother tongue to me as if that is my mother tongue, which is not and they expect me to understand them.well, we have over 70 languages in Ghana. English is a bridge between us. Nobody should force his language on me.frankly, i refuse to answer those people in their preferred lingo.

When will these pseudo educationists stop this local language nonsense!? They ask us to teach our children local languages while they speak English with their children and also demand English as a definite prerequisite to any higher level of education. And I'm quite sure she delivered her advocacy for local languages in English language.

Let everyone teach and speak their local languages to their children at home, and don't try to bring up a practically unworkable policy. We don't have the time or finances to go into any experiment.

We have imported religion, Gods, dress, marriage, sports, entertainment, education, governance, everything. We cannot choose and pick. Look at the nails and hair styles, nothing African. Prof., we need something more innovative, creative, technological, original from our researchers, not this cheap stuff. Is what what the research allowance for? SO SAD FOR THEV CONTINENT.

WE ALWAYS USED TO SPEAK OUR LOCAL LANGUAGES WITH OUR PARENTS,SIBBLINGS, FRIENDS,ETC WHAT HAS CHANGED???????? THERE WERE COMPULSERY SUBJECTS LIKE MATHS,SCIENCE,AT LEAST ONE LOCAL LANGUAGE,PLUS ENGLISH, TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN O-LEVEL CERTIFICATE.ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK OUR MOTHER TONGUE,PERIOD!!!!!!! RECENT RESEARCH SHOWS,ITS VERY POSITIVE TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK AT LEAST TWO LANGUAGES,ITS GOOD FOR THE BRAIN ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE GETS OLDER,THERE SHOULD BE MORE BOOKS AVAILABLE IN OUR LOCAL LANGUAGES TOO,NOT ONLY ENGLISH BOOKS,GHANA HAS A RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE!!

I disagree 200%. We should start chemistry and physics books in Ghanaian languages? Which ones? She should just be thankful that we have English. This Ghanaian languages thing is just foolish pride.

They should try with Chemistry translation and see if they could do 5 pages in a year, even with the simplest, basic books.

I agree, every region should have their own cultural language taught in that region.

All these people are professors for nothing. I suppose she got her professorship from speaking ga. Did her children get where they are by speaking local languages. Leave our children alone. We are now in a global world.
