Abla Dzifa Gomashie, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, has underscored the need for a policy intervention to help in the use of native languages as a medium of instruction at the basic education level.
She, therefore, urged the Minister of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) to provide logistical support to teachers and educational institutions in order to sustain the use of indigenous languages for teaching and learning.
Madam Dzifa Gomashie, also the MP for Ketu South, made the call in a statement read on the floor of Parliament on Friday, February 21, to mark this year's International Mother Language Day.
This year's celebration of the Day commemorate its 25th anniversary, which reminds the world on the need to preserve and protect linguistic diversity and promotion of mother tongue use.
