It should be possible in time to replace Kakwa also by Bari, while as regards the Fajelu either Bari or Kakwa could be used as the medium of instruction at once.

The Committee feels that of the group Latuko-Lofit-Lokoya-Dongotono, Latuko is the most important, and that it 1s unnecessary that any of the other languages should be used as media of instruction in schools. | The Committee saw no immediate prospect of Bari replacing Latuko.
