Background of the Study
Language policy implementation in educational institutions is crucial for sustaining linguistic heritage, particularly in regions like Kano where Hausa is the dominant language. Over the past few years, the Kano state government has introduced policies aimed at strengthening Hausa language education in primary and secondary schools. These policies seek to standardize teaching methods, update curricular materials, and enhance teacher training programs to ensure that Hausa language proficiency is maintained and improved among students (Umar, 2023). The implementation process involves integrating traditional cultural content with modern pedagogical approaches, thereby fostering a learning environment that values indigenous knowledge and linguistic identity. However, challenges remain in terms of resource allocation, teacher preparedness, and community acceptance. Evaluating the efficacy of these policies is critical to determine whether they are meeting educational goals and reinforcing the Hausa linguistic heritage. This study, therefore, examines the implementation of language policies in Hausa language education in Kano, exploring successes, shortcomings, and areas for improvement to better inform future policy developments (Aminu, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the formulation of progressive language policies, the implementation of Hausa language education in Kano has encountered several obstacles. Reports suggest that inadequate training, insufficient resources, and inconsistent policy enforcement undermine the potential benefits of these reforms. This gap between policy intent and practical application poses a significant threat to the preservation and effective teaching of the Hausa language. The study aims to explore the factors impeding successful policy implementation and assess the actual outcomes of language education programs in Kano. Understanding these challenges is essential for developing more robust strategies that can enhance the delivery of Hausa language education and safeguard linguistic heritage (Umar, 2023).

Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it evaluates the real-world impact of language policies on Hausa education, providing valuable insights for government agencies, educators, and policy makers. The outcomes will guide enhancements in policy implementation, ensuring that Hausa language education is effective and culturally relevant, ultimately contributing to the preservation of the language (Umar, 2023; Aminu, 2024).
