This paper aims to give a few indications of the various attempts to formulate a language policy in education in the Northern Region in Nigeria. It starts by giving a brief historical perspective on the colonial government’s language policies, the attitudes of three policy makers and the methods they used to implement their education policies. Furthermore it discusses the language policy of the post-colonial governments and some of the barriers to the ascendancy of Hausa in education.
