- Previous message (by thread): [lg policy] On UP's 'English only' policy Theuns Eloff | 30 January 2019 Theuns Eloff examines the university's justifications for the implementation of the policy UP’S CONFIRMATION OF ENGLISH ONLY The University of Pretoria (UP) successfully won a court challenge against its “English only” language policy in December 2016.

At the same time, their attitudes also reflect their strong local allegiances and resistance to Mainland China’s cultural practices, as reflected in their views on the issue of the official status of Putonghua in the Macao SAR, the choice of Putonghua or Cantonese as the medium of instruction,
