Education and Language in the Philippines provides a comprehensive
overview of the critical role of education and language development
in the Philippines. Lorraine Pe Symaco and Francisco P. Dumanig
highlight the economic, social, and political factors that led to
the complexity of the country's education system and language
policies. In addition, they provide a nuanced discussion of the
pressing issues regarding the contextual realities of Philippine
education language policies and reforms, the role of multilingual
education in learners' identity formation, and the impact of
multi-ethnic teaching approaches. The book emphasizes that in a
plurilingual country, social actors contribute in many ways to the
changes of language education policy, and it explores and discusses
how such a policy is implemented and results in the development of
multilingual education. This book is the first to comprehensively
examine the interconnected roles of education and language in the
Philippines.
