Kinyarwanda language in education across times: myth or reality?
Journal Title: Journal of Educational Research and Reviews - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
This discussion is a thought provoking discourse around the status of Kinyarwanda and its bearing on teaching and learning process, literacy, etc. The learning process presupposes the presence of the learner and the teacher as well as the tool of communication which is the language. It is widely and commonly known that throughout the history of Rwanda, Kinyarwanda language has been the repository of family and community knowledge especially in the ancient Rwanda where it was a vehicle of beliefs, customs, perception of the world, values etc. During colonial period, education was dominated by colonial experiences that trivialized indigenous education and social reality. From the independence of Rwanda in 1962 to date the position of Kinyarwanda has evolved positively at all levels and forms of education. Kinyarwanda language stands at the very heart of the most crucial educational, cultural and political issues of Banyarwanda.
