| description |
Nomgana is the hub community of a very
active inter-village federation in Burkina Faso. In recent
years, a local association called Manegbzanga has launched
an experimental program using Moore language literacy as the
basis for learning French. The program achieved a good deal
of success and was soon faced with increasing demand for
enrollment from young people who had missed primary
schooling or had been forced to drop out. Test results
showed that the pupils at the center were ahead of those at
the area's formal primary school in some subjects.
However, there were several handicaps in the center: 1) the
rigidity of pre-established schedules and time allocations
to different subject matters required for accreditation in
the formal system worked against some of the things that the
Nomgana center was experimenting. 2) Some of the content of
French textbooks turned out to be quite inappropriate for
use once translated into Moore. 3) To match the rhythm and
requirements of the official curriculum the teaching staff
had to largely abandon instruction directly in Moore,
despite the fact that some of the most encouraging learning
results were appearing in classes taught in the mother tongue. |
