Description:
Using powerful quotes from a wide variety of sources, the paper makes a strong case for mother-tongue based multilingual education (MTB-MLE). It also presents a continuum of education policies in Asia in terms of their support or restrictiveness of MTB-MLE. The paper then presents general policy principles that are needed in situations were there are students from non-dominant language communities.
