* French is the official language of Haiti, though spoken by only a small percentage of the population. It is the language of government, education, and commerce.
* Haitian Creole is the native language of the majority of Haitians. It is widely spoken in everyday life and is increasingly being used in education.
While French is the dominant language in education, there is a growing movement to promote bilingualism in schools. This aims to better reflect the linguistic reality of Haitian society and improve the educational outcomes of students who are more comfortable in Creole.
It's worth noting that:
* English is also gaining popularity as a language of instruction, particularly in private schools and in higher education.
* Spanish, due to Haiti's proximity to the Dominican Republic, is also spoken by some, though not as commonly taught in schools.
The language situation in Haiti is complex, and the role of Creole in education is still evolving.
