註釋In multilingual societies, school is an arena in which three potentially conflicting dimensions of language policy meet: language as a right, language as a resource, and language as a problem. School is an instrument in the implementation of a country's official language policy, and also an institution in which about language confront the actual behavior of teachers and pupils about language. Consisting of different ethnolinguistic groups, Eritrea is an intriguing example of a multilingual country facing complex interdependencies of language, social mobility, ethnicity, and nationalism. It is special in the sense that, unlike many other postcolonial African countries, Eritrea has decided on a policy of mother-tongue education.
