Gonzalez, Andrew; Bajunid, Ibrahim Ahmed
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v17 n2-4 p210-24 1996
Describes the multilingual situation underlying the educational scheme in the Philippines, a system inherent with problems arising from the unequal developmental status of Filipino and English and the subsequent failure to meet manpower and material needs. The article issues a call to use the synergy created by two languages. Bajunid's response focuses on the gap between language policy and reality.(26 references) (Author/CK)
