Planning Policy on afro-european multilingualism in Sub-Saharian Africa Generally two types of multilinguism are distinguished: individual multilinguism and social multilinguism. This paper has a double aim: 1. The analysis of the solutions designed for the management of social multilinguism in general and afro-european multilinguism in particular. 2. The proposal of a language policy approach, which takes into account ethnic differences, cultural particularities and the importance of languages of mass communication. This approach will allow democratise the education system by an augmentation of school attendance rates, the limitation of failures and school desertion and annihilation of illiteracy and rural exodus.
