DepEd calls for preservation of linguistic diversity

THE Department of Education (DepEd) called for increased awareness in the preservation of linguistic diversity in the 2022 International Mother Language Day celebration on February 21.

The celebration aims to start a conversation among teachers, learners, and other education stakeholders on the progress being made in mother tongue-based multilingual education and its growing understanding of its importance, particularly in early schooling, and commitments to its development in public life.
