Three things I heard yesterday.
1. Colombia’s National Bilingual Programme is a 16 – year programme and started 11 years after a new language policy was enacted.
2. China is engaged in a 40-year language programme.
3. The UK Education acts of 1911 and 1918 which liberalised curriculum did not translate into progressive practice in the classroom until the 1960s.
What about India?
