Language of Instruction

The Voices into Action (VIA) activity examined how to meaningfully involve the voices of learners and their families in educational decision-making processes. It aimed to:

• establish the background and rationale for the widely recognised need to involve learner and family voices in decision-making;
• identify how policy-makers and other stakeholders might meet this need in practice, in different countries and different contexts.

Family literacy and family learning are approaches to learning that focus on intergenerational interactions within families and communities. This, in turn, promotes the development of literacy, numeracy, language and life skills. Family learning recognizes the vital role that parents, grandparents and other caregivers play in their children’s education. Furthermore, it values and supports all forms of learning in homes and communities.
