Tuesday, February 21, 2017

The United Nations' (UN) International Mother Language Day is annually held on February 21 to celebrate languages spoken worldwide. It also observes the human right to use these languages.

"Mother languages in a multilingual approach are essential components of quality education, which is itself the foundation for empowering women and men and their societies."
