“For the culture” MIA: African culture in education

Language is an interesting concept. It’s one word, yet it carries with it much meaning. How we make sense of the world ultimately begins with the way in which we communicate with one another. How we interact with society also largely depends on our ability to interpret signs and codes and draw meaning and context from them – semiotics, if you will.

But not all languages are the same, nor – sadly – are they deemed equal. Why, you may ask?

It all starts with the cultural context.
