The study investigates how parents, teachers, and community members experience and perceive current language policies, with a particular focus on the use of mother tongue(s) in education. It seeks to inform policy reform by grounding recommendations in the lived realities of stakeholders at the grassroots level. It examines the school and home languages gap’s impact on learning in two districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Sindh provinces. This comparison will provide insights into better integrating mother tongue/most familiar languages into schools. By incorporating perspectives from teachers, parents, and communities, the project ensures its findings are grounded in real-world experiences, crucial for developing effective policy recommendations adaptable and replicable in other regions.
