International Mother Language Day is observed every year throughout the world for the last fifteen years. In this regard, Baacha Khan Schools celebrated international Mother Language Day with zeal and fervor across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2015 .

 “Observing International Mother Language Day reminds us that the very nature of life on this planet is pluralistic and diverse, and we must respect pluralism and diversity in all its forms to build peaceful and prosperous societies. Linguistic diversity is one of the most important aspects of human life.  Language enables us to transmit ever developing indigenous knowledge, wisdom, values and attitudes from one generation to another to ensure survival of human species. Our quality of education is closely linked with learning in mother language, hence our quality of life depends on the quality of language learning,” said Khadim Hussain, Managing Director Baacha Khan Trust Educational Foundation (BKTEF) in his message on the occasion. All Baacha Khan Schools arranged various activities to promote awareness about the importance of mother language.

Students of Baacha Khan Schools arranged skits, delivered speeches and read poems to express their understanding about the importance of mother language. Students also performed skits to throw light on the vision and mission of Baacha Khan. They presented skits based on the sayings of Baacha Khan highlighting the importance of literacy, education and mother tongue. It was pointed out that Baacha Khan was the first person to draw attention of  Pashtuns to the importance of mother language and girls education.
