Description

Have you ever wondered why school and university subjects that are seen as universal are taught in colonial languages? Mathematics, sciences, economics and the like are seen as historically and theoretically neutral (which they’re not) and English. French, Spanish, and Portuguese, among other European languages, are seen as neutral languages, which they are not either.
