[Edling] UNESCO - Languages in Education

[Francis M. Hult via Edling]

UNESCO

Languages in Education

UNESCO undertakes advocacy and awareness-raising work through the annual
celebration of International Mother Language Day (IMLD) on February 21.

UNESCO also produces studies and reports that help advance the recognition
of multilingual education based on mother tongue(s), notably in early years
of schooling, with the overall objective of supporting the achievement of
SDG 4 on Education, and Target 4.6 in particular.

Finally, UNESCO pays particular attention to the promotion of multilingual
education in support of Indigenous peoples. UNESCO participates in, and
contributes to, the Permanent Forum on Indigenous issues (UNPFII) and the
OHCHR and UNESCO joint Indigenous Fellowship programme. UNESCO provides
briefings focusing on the role of mother tongue education and the
development of indigenous peoples, to indigenous fellows, and organizing
training for these fellows.
