🔆 Key Takeaways: Role of Mother Tongue in Early Education

✅ Educational Benefits:
• Teaching in a child’s home language boosts comprehension, emotional security, and continuity.
• Promotes shared learning and stronger home-school connection, enhancing academic outcomes.

✅ Cognitive & Pedagogical Advantages:
• Supported by UNESCO and UNICEF for literacy, numeracy, and confidence building.
• Forms a strong foundation for long-term academic success.

✅ Cultural & Identity Relevance:
• Native languages are key to identity and pride; many Indian children lack fluency in their own tongues.
• Thinkers like Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and Fanon emphasize reclaiming identity through native languages.

✅ Symbolic Violence & Language Policy:
• Early English-medium instruction may devalue home languages, acting as symbolic violence (Bourdieu).
• Risks alienation and cultural disconnection in children.

✅ Implementation Challenges:
• CBSE’s push for mother-tongue instruction is positive, but execution is complex in multilingual India.
• Requires curriculum design, teacher training, and appropriate resources.

✅ Avoiding Tokenism:
• Sudden or shallow rollouts (e.g., after summer breaks) can dilute educational value.
• Deep planning is essential to ensure meaningful, inclusive learning.
