Education / Training

Work with local communities to establish mother tongue-based literacy and multilingual education programs for children, youth and adults who speak non-dominant languages. Members of non-dominant language communities are frequently marginalized socially, politically, economically and educationally. SIL members encourage and support sustainable, community-centered literacy and education programs that enable speakers of non-dominant languages to achieve their educational goals using a language (or languages) they speak and understand.
