This programme establishes and sustains the development of indigenous languages by promoting them in primary and secondary schools, and by advancing the study of professional degree courses in Nigerian indigenous languages within technical schools across the country.
Approach
- Curriculum support for indigenous language teaching at primary and secondary level.
