LANGUAGE POLICY

Legae la Bana Primary School’s Language Policy was developed based on requirements and recommendations of the Department of Basic Education’s “Language in Education Policy,” the National Education Policy Act, and the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

We affirm that multilingualism and equitable language rights are protected in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and that the promotion of multilingualism demonstrates our commitment to nurturing respect for diversity amongst our learners.

Factors considered:

• The interest of the learners
• The interest of the school community
• The interest of the community in which the school is located
