COSAS calls for exams in mother tongue

As we continue to observe the 18th International Mother Language Day, this week, the Congress of South African Students, or COSAS, has once again called for all 11 languages to be treated equally in order to improve the pass rate. COSAS wants pupils to be allowed to write exams in their mother tongue.
The Department of Basic Education embarked on an initiative aimed at bringing indigenous African languages into mainstream education, which is yet to bear fruit.
The department has enacted the Incremental Introduction of African Languages Policy in 2014, which is was at ensuring all schools offer at least one African language. Joining us now is the President of COSAS, John Macheke.
