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.enArticle
