Multilingualism is a way of life in India but its complexity generates an enormous challenge for education, particularly in India’s remote tribal regions where the languages spoken are different from the languages used in schools. This short article looks at some of the processes which are required to develop a multilingual education programme, including scripting local languages, developing a spelling system, producing a multilingual curriculum and providing resources such as literature and dictionaries. It looks at the use of new technologies, which can support the work, and at the difficulties, which might be encountered.
