Evaluation

"The future of a multilingual society like Peru's and many others that exist in the world today presents an open challenge to the capabilities of those committed not only to transforming the means of communication in pluricultural and multilingual communities, but also to seeing that these communities attain their own distinctive unity--one that would set them apart as nations bonded together by a common destiny. In this respect, multilingualism is still a challenge to the design of our future and to our ability to build one nation enriched by its diversity of languages and cultures yet joined together by Spanish as the common language to afford the widest range of internal and external communication" (page 57).
