Abstract
Chapter 2, Section 7(3), of the Kenyan constitution, (The Republic of Kenya 2010) stipulates that the
state shall develop, promote and protect the diversity of languages of the people of Kenya. Although this
statement has no direct implication to the language of education policy in the Kenyan system of
education, their implementation will largely affect the language policy in education. This paper explores
ways in which the constitution can be used as a catalyst in the promotion, development and protection of
African Languages and at the same time use these African languages as media of instruction in schools
in Kenya.
