The “elephant in the room”: why and how medium of instruction and decolonisation of education are linked
things: a curriculum that is in need of being “decolonised” can still be delivered in a colonial language.
Likewise, a curriculum that is colonial in nature could in theory be delivered in any medium of
instruction. This article argues that, seen from a macro perspective, this belief is incorrect. In African
settings (and probably elsewhere as well), the medium of instruction and the content of that instruction
are intricately linked. Evolution towards a decolonial educational system has to include a change in the
medium of instruction if it is to be successful.
