Question 3
Read the passage below
there can be no doubt that to educate a child is a language which is not that of either of his parents tends to alienate him from his parents; to educate him in a language which is not one of the indigenous languages of the country tends to alienate him from the culture of the country. if he grows up with one language for the school-room he may well develop a kind of dual personality, one side of which is being developed by the ideas which he encounters and the training he receives in school is sealed of in a kind polythene bag from the side which makes the everyday social, cultural and moral decisions. in such a situation very often the child whom would respond creatively to his own saturation does not do so well at school as the clever parrot. education through the medium of foreign languages may encourage a kind of opportunism which is not prepared to give back an unselfish service to the community. teachers in all the English medium universities and colleges which have been started or developed in the newly independent parts of the British commonwealth have had to contend with their problem, and from the main force of the argument for education in the vernacular derives. now answer the following questions.
