Аннотация

Language is a fundamental aspect of education, shaping not only how students learn but also their access to educational opportunities. Language-in-education policies, which determine the language(s) of instruction and the role of different linguistic varieties in the classroom, can have far-reaching implications for student experiences and outcomes. This article critically examines the impact of such policies, highlighting how they can perpetuate educational inequities and undermine the linguistic diversity of student populations.
