[wanabidii] Huyu naje Je, Si UTAFITI?

Waungwana

"...The dominance of English in Tanzania has inhibited the development of Kiswahili and stifled internal scientific and technological innovations and inventiveness since its continued use in post-primary education makes it difficult for students at these levels to understand and internalize scientific and technological principles due to their poor proficiency. It has been shown that English decreases confidence in the value and effectiveness of local cultural analysis systems and their knowledge bases through defining Kiswahili and ethnic languages as being immature and consequently unfit to express science and its associated technologies." (pg ix).

Haya ni matokeo ya utafiti, uliompatia mlengwa shahada yake ya Uzamivu. Sijui baada ya hapa itaendelea kusemwa kuwa, yanayosemwa kuhusu nafasi za Kiswahili na Kiingereza katika Jamii ya Watanzania, yanasemwa tu bila utafiti au?
