ABSTRACT
the paper examines the language policies in Namibia with respect to education and how these policies have disadvantaged the San tribe and how it continues to disadvantage them to great extent. The language of instruction in schools and institutions was discriminatory in the colonial era. These discriminatory practices have been carried forward to the present era which has been seldom addressed. This paper focuses on how a flaw in the policy, has violated the language rights of a community of the San tribe in Namibia.
This paper tries to draw attention to the challenges that the San people in Namibia have while trying to get education in a language that they can comprehend, which creates opportunity disparities in terms of learning and accomplishment.
