The language of instruction in schools varies from country to country, but in most of the Pacific Island countries in the USP region, Mathematics is generally taught in the vernacular in the first years of primary school, and in English (or French) in the secondary school, with vernacular persisting more in rural areas. This distribution has attracted public debate, with many feeling that English is vital for development. Mathematics, however, is a subject many pupils find difficult, and these difficulties are compounded by having to learn in a second or third language. When English is the medium of instruction the process of learning Mathematics can seem little more than having to learn technical English words. There can be so many new words to learn that children find it hard to see past the new language they are grappling with in order to learn Mathematics.
