In primary education, native mother language as a medium of instruction is very important. Education in foreign language often confuse most of the students. Instead of understanding concepts and theories and thinking about its applications, students got stuck in mugging up things. Education in own native language enhance critical and unique thinking. Students find it comfortable to understand concepts in their own languages, hence they can think about unique aspects of those concepts.

Challenges in providing a quality education in mother tongue. 


With so many advantage, providing this is not a easy job to do. There are many challenges in providing a quality education in all medium.

1. Lack of quality teachers of local languages.
2. Lack of content as all good are not translated in all languages. 
3. Lack of standardized curriculum. 
4. Resistance to switch.


Tackling to these problems state should try to give education in mother tongue. There are many region of India where education are being given in regional language but they are far behind in terms of quality.
