dc.description.abstractThe question of which language should be used as a medium of instruction from nursery school to class three in primary schools has been a topic of discussion in Kenya since the 1960’s. It has been proposed that the language of instruction at those levels of education be the language of the catchment area or Kiswahili in cosmopolitan areas. Language learning theories backed by research indicate that the use of local languages (first language) as a medium of instruction in the formative years of the child makes them understand faster what is being taught. This is because language is no longer a barrier in the learning. Examples given of developed countries indicate that these countries have prospered because they used local languages in their education systems. This paper revisits this issue 51 years after the nation of Kenya got its independence and having undergone several soci-political changes. The paper analyzes the current situation in Kenya today and and gives recommendations on how best that policy can be implemented in the changed circumstances.en_US
