WILLEMSTAD - Kousa Promé is opposed to the introduction of English as the instructional language at the Sint Antonius College. According to the political movement led by René Rosalia, this decision contradicts children's rights. International children's rights agreements stipulate that children have the right to learn in their mother tongue.
Moreover, various scientific studies indicate that students thrive better when they receive education in their native language. Additionally, this approach would make it easier for them to master a second language. Sint Antonius College started English-language kindergarten classes this school year. The curriculum at the Catholic school is funded by the US consulate, with the goal of providing more children with access to quality education in English.
