Radical inclusion means teaching children in a language they understand

Sierra Leone President Maada Bio has made education the cornerstone of his
human capital development agenda. Led by Minister David Sengeh, the
country’s Ministry of Education is at the forefront of implementing major
reforms, including a
policy of radical inclusion in schools.

The premise is simple: Every child, regardless of gender, pregnancy status,
disability, or otherwise, must have guaranteed access to mainstream quality
education. But to achieve real radical inclusion and close learning gaps in
Sierra Leone, we should consider a bold but impactful reform that would
ensure children are taught in their mother language for the first three to
five years of schooling.
