Wise words from @TimWilliamsPhD
"In absence of planning, the language change will disproportionately burden children and teachers in poor rural areas, deepening a divide between an urban Anglophone elite and the rest of the country."

"44 percent of sixth-graders are illiterate in English, a figure that is likely much higher in rural parts of the country. It means these children take their pivotal leaving examinations in a language they don’t understand."

#RwandaEducation
We have been trying our utmost to pursued everyone involved with education in #Rwanda that primary pupils and their teachers must do their lessons in their first language. Our tried and tested #NOECbooks prove this time again.
For the third time in 11 years, #Rwanda changed the language used in primary schools
Analysts cite concerns about the lack of planning. This appears to reject scientific evidence that suggests primary-school students may learn best in their first language

“The Guardian will no longer accept advertising from oil and gas companies, becoming the first major global news organisation to institute an outright ban on taking money from companies that extract fossil fuels.”
A good start, who will take this further?
