This is the website of the Languages in Education section of UNESCO. UNESCO promotes multilingual approaches in education – an important factor in inclusion – along with mother tongue instruction in the initial years of school, which has a positive impact on learning and learning outcomes. The organisation also provides normative frameworks for language policy and education and shares good practices in bilingual and multilingual education, including mother tongue instruction.
The website provides access to news and publications on languages in education, and also information about their programme and strategy.
