Hearing your mother tongue spoken evokes a deep sense of pride and reaffirms the significance of your heritage and roots. From birth onward, the mother tongue shapes one's identity and understanding of the world. Therefore, it is crucial for children to receive their education in their native language. When taught in a language other than their mother tongue, a person's ability to learn and connect meaningfully with the material is often compromised.
