An argument against Creolese
Dear Editor,
It is said that the educational system is failing Guyanese. What would you expect when ordinary people are not being educated in English to understand and converse at a high level? May I remind Guyanese that the majority of books on science, technology, business, computer science, Maths, etc. are written in English, not Creolese.
If students do not comprehend English from an early age it tends to put them behind in other areas of learning.
When someone applies for a job and they say that they are fluent in English Language they are likely to get it.
When someone applies for a job and they say that they are fluent in Creolese what are the chances of them getting that job? University is in preparation for the Job Market as well as to do Research work. It is news to me that there is a demand for Creolese in either or both.
Alim Hosein’s letter is more about “getting back at the English” rather than the MERITS of learning Creolese or English.
Also, when the State starts promoting Creolese culture in a multicultural society it would be at the expense of other cultures.
We’re a country of under one million people; the rest of the world are not about to abandon English and learn Creolese.
Yours Faithfully
