Question

Annette studies in a Dutch medium school in the northern region of Belgium. Many French-speaking students in her school want the medium of instruction to be French. Selvi studies in a school in the northern region of Sri Lanka. All the students in her school are Tamil speaking and they want the medium of instruction to be Tamil.

If the parents of Annette and Selvi were to approach respective governments to realise the desire of the child who is more likely to succeed? And why?

Accepted Answer

Annette's parents have a higher chance of success. Because in Belgium, the community government is elected by people who speak a single language, either Dutch, French, or German. This government has authority over cultural, educational, and linguistic matters. The central government, on the other hand, is in charge of education in Sri Lanka. It is nearly impossible for ordinary citizens to consult the central government and force it to fix such an issue.
