Advocacy kit for promoting multilingual education: Including the excluded

Unfortunately,  in  many  countries  in  this  region,  the  true  panorama
 of  languages  found in  a  nation’s  population  is  rarely  reflected
 in  their  education  systems,  and  large  numbers of  learners  are
 confronted  with  either  a  foreign  medium  of  instruction  or  a
 language  that is  different  from  their  mother  tongue.  This  may  be
 further  exacerbated  in  the  case  of certain groups who are already in
situations of educational risk or stress, such as illiterates, minorities
and refugees. It is an obvious yet not generally recognized truism that

challenges: not only of learning a new language but also of learning new
knowledge contained in that language
