In the multilingual setting of Cameroon, this article looks at the influence of civil society organizations (CSOs) on mother tongue education. The preservation and advancement of mother tongue education are essential for maintaining cultural identity and advancing education in a nation where multiple languages are spoken. However, there are a number of barriers that prevent mother-tongue education programs from being implemented effectively. This study evaluates the barriers that community-based organizations (CSOs) have while trying to advance mother tongue education and considers possible solutions. This study clarifies the many challenges faced by CSOs through a thorough literature review and qualitative research techniques like document analysis and interviews. Language variety, a lack of government backing, scarce resources, and insufficient teacher preparation are some of these challenges. The results also show where there may be opportunities to strengthen the influence of CSOs on mother-tongue instruction. According to the study, CSOs are essential in promoting mother tongue education, increasing public awareness, creating instructional resources, and giving instructors training. However, it is essential to improve cooperation between CSOs, governmental organizations, and communities in order to get past the challenges. To further increase the influence of CSOs, it is imperative to improve teacher preparation programs, boost financing and resources, and create laws that encourage mother tongue education. This study adds to the body of knowledge by shedding light on the particular difficulties CSOs encounter while trying to advance mother tongue instruction in the multilingual setting of Cameroon. The results emphasize the significance of maintaining linguistic variety and advancing inclusive education methods, and they provide insightful recommendations for legislators, CSOs, and others involved in education. Through tackling these challenges and welcoming alternative perspectives, Cameroon may cultivate an education system that is both culturally rich and inclusive, valuing and supporting diversity.
