Introduction
Good evening, parents, teachers, and members of the school community. Thank you
for coming together to discuss an important aspect of our children’s education: the
choice of the Language of Learning and Teaching, commonly referred to as LoLT. The
Language in Education Policy (LiEP) plays a crucial role in guiding schools like ours
