Building Back Better: Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education for Ethnic Minority Children

The APMLEWG Secretariat is inviting you to the side-event of the 2nd Asia-Pacific Regional Education Minister’s Conference (APREMC II) focusing on Building Back Better: Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education for Ethnic Minority Children, 5 June 2022 from 12:45 pm – 1:45 pm (GMT+7/Bangkok time).

 

OBJECTIVES

  1. To raise awareness on MTB MLE as an enabler for learning recovery, transformative education and accelerating progress towards SDG 4
  2. To sensitize Member States on the Bangkok Statement on Language and Inclusion
  3. To discuss policies and practices that will help Member States support vulnerable and disadvantaged ethnolinguistic minority learners

Our expert panel will address fundamental issues with guiding questions such as:

  1. What is MTB MLE and how does it improve students’ learning outcomes?
  2. How does MTB MLE help students learn other languages, including English?
  3. What digital learning tools are most helpful for children who don’t speak the school language and have limited internet access?
  4. How does MTB MLE engage local communities and promote social harmony and inclusion?

How would endorsing UNESCO’s Bangkok Statement on Language and Inclusion help a country meet its SDG 4 goals?
