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

General Assembly called on its member states to take action in order to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by people of the world. February 21, 2016 will be the seventh year of acknowledgement of the importance of home language and diversity on International Mother Language day.  The benefits of children becoming proficient in their mother tongue are broad-reaching.  From maintaining their cultural heritage to providing emotional and mental connections needed for successful learners. FasTracKids educational philosophy is rooted in the understanding that children excel while learning in the comfort of their mother tongue.  This is why we have invested millions of dollars to provide our curriculum in over 22 languages that represent over 45 countries and cultures.  Our commitment to developing 21st century leaders through our proprietary methodology empowers and inspires the future generations. Our curriculum is woven into the fabric of multitudes of cultures because of our respect for the home language for all children. In following the mandate by the UN, FasTracKids honors the linguistic and cultural diversity that exists in our world today.  We will continue to invest in linguistic diversity and committed to empower all nations and languages throughout the world. http://www.fountainmagazine.com/Issue/detail/Mother-Tongue-The-Language-of-Heart-and-Mind http://www.calendarlabs.com/holidays/international/mother-language-day.php mother_language If you’d like to offer this amazing benefit to the children of your community through the purchase of a franchise or a strategic partnership, please contact FasTracKids at opportunity@fastrackids.com.
