Practices, challenges and stakeholder perspectives of Awgni language as medium of instruction: Meta-synthesis of existing studies in AWI Nationality Administration

Abstract

This study examined the practice challenges and stakeholder perspectives of using Awgni as a medium of instruction in primary schools and Injibara College of Teachers' Education in the Awi Nationality Administration. The study employed a meta-synthesis of existing studies to investigate about the practice, challenges and perspectives of using Awgni as a medium of instruction.  Out of 16 identified studies, 10 were included and 6 excluded through manual searching and snowballing techniques.  Findings revealed varied implementation practices, challenges related to curriculum, human resources, and materials. Community perspectives ranged from acceptance to opposition, influenced by awareness, external factors, and professional support. The study recommends further research to better understand community perspectives and improve Awgni implementation.
