Fantastic panel on teaching and learning in Sindh. Local empirical data on teaching practices in multi lingual contexts DARE - Research Consortium

Language policies in a context with 17 language is vague or does not exist. Even when formal guidelines exist, there is alot of practice may be informal and in response to local context. Durbeen DARE - Research Consortium

Plenty of international evidence on what works for language for insteuction which is relevant for Sindhs context, even in Math (show Pakistan TIMMS results) Anjum Halai DARE - Research Consortium

65% text books in Sindh printed in Sindhi. Evidence for preference for local language . Dr. Fouzia Khan. DARE - Research Consortium

The question of why, where and how mplementation fails remains a big and pressing policy issue. Implemented, I.e. bureaucrats at provincial , district and local bureaucrats not part of conversations. Dr. Fouzia Khan DARE - Research Consortium

Tensions between teaching in the local languages in Science and Math vs integration in the global economies remain unsolved. Key policy question. Junaid Sammo DARE - Research Consortium

Student learn better if medium of instruction, language of text book and language of assessment if all the same - Dr. Sadia Bhutta DARE - Research Consortium
