English and French were the mandatory languages in public and private schools during my school years. Sadly, we were never taught our Indigenous languages, not even simple phrases like &#8220;good morning&#8221; or &#8220;thank you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Linguistic discrimination<\/strong> is still prevalent in classrooms across Central America. Our native languages are disappearing, causing us to lose an integral part of our national heritage. Every 14 days, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/magazine\/article\/vanishing-languages\">one of the 7,000 known languages spoken worldwide dies<\/a>. By the end of this century, half of these languages will disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Language bias also has negative impacts on children&#8217;s development. Numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/articles\/why-mother-language-based-education-essential\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">studies<\/a> indicate that students not educated in their native languages tend to have lower learning outcomes than those who receive instruction in their mother tongues. Conversely, using a well-mastered language significantly enhances learning, particularly reading comprehension. Bilingual education also helps preserve cultural heritage and creates a bridge between the ancestral wisdom of Indigenous peoples and the global community of the 21st century, opening the doors to future opportunities within the Indigenous communities and beyond. Additionally, it contributes to community engagement in children&#8217;s education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Global Communities has been implementing the <strong>McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition<\/strong> programs across Central America and Africa for over 20 years. Our programs, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, provide <a href=\"https:\/\/globalcommunities.org\/blog\/international-food-aid-showcase\/\">daily nutritious meals<\/a> to school-age children and take a <strong>multidisciplinary approach<\/strong> to improve students&#8217; nutritional and learning outcomes.

Implemented across 450 preschools and primary schools in the departments of Huehuetenango and Quiche, UNIDOS supports students with daily meals, school supplies and educational materials available in local languages. In addition, the program works tirelessly to strengthen teachers&#8217; bilingual skills and provide children with literacy skills in Spanish, Mam, Q&#8217;anjob&#8217;al, Ixil and K&#8217;iche&#8217;.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2024, <strong>UNIDOS <\/strong>conducted a study on students&#8217; bilingual language skills. Overall, 80% of students reported using primarily the local Mayan language in their family interactions. The study also found that the use of both Spanish and Mayan languages in the classroom was positive for the achievement of biliteracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNIDOS is deeply committed to enhancing the teaching of foundational literacy skills, starting with the mother tongue and then transferring these skills to Spanish. It is crucial to support teachers in using both languages in their classrooms and improves parents&#8217; involvement in their children&#8217;s learning. Additionally, the project implements social communication activities to inform parents and communities about the benefits of bilingual education.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the last note, yes, I have learned the essential words in Miskito and Mayagna \u2013 two of my Indigenous languages \u2013 and promoted the learning of others to fulfill my personal and professional commitments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Leonel Arguello, Director of Integrated School Feeding Programs As a Nicaraguan, I grew up in a multiethnic, multicultural and multilingual country with a large Indigenous population.
