It is estimated that 40% of the world’s population lack the opportunity to be educated in their own language. In Colours of the Alphabet we get an insight into the challenges this poses as we follow a group of first graders in Zambia – a country with 72 local languages, where education is primarily offered in English. A fascinating exploration of language, childhood and education through the eyes of three Zambian children and their families.
