The following are parts of Keenan's report from 1878:
"...the education of the children frequenting (going to) the Primary Schools must be based upon the principle (idea) of teaching how to read their native Maltese language as correctly as English children of the junior classes are taught how to read English in an English National School."
"...the Maltese Language...under skillful treatment may become an instrument (something to use) in itself of true education and at the same time a ready and natural means (an easy way) of bringing about a general knowledge and use of the English Language"
P.J. Keenan, "Report upon the Educational System of Malta" (London, 1880)
From the source which language do you think Keenan thinks is the most important?
How does he plan to increase that language's importance?
Who would not agree with this?
