What linguistic and educational policy for Mauritania?

This book, devoted to language and education policy in Mauritania, could in fact be of interest to most African states, given the similarity of their realities.Its author, Mr. Mohamed Vall ould Cheikh, an expert in education and training, addresses two important interdependent issues that are crucial to the future of Mauritania and other African states, as the problems linked to language policy and education remain unresolved. Without complacency but without excess, he draws up an inventory of these two issues, backed up by testimonials drawn from some forty years of professional experience acquired both nationally and internationally. It then sets out a number of ideas and recommendations that could help resolve these two issues. It goes without saying that national unity, social cohesion and the country's development largely depend on finding solutions to these two highly sensitive and delicate issues.
