New project aims to revolutionise pupils’ learning ability in Rwanda
Learning a second language is a daunting task for most but imagine being taught school subjects in a language you have limited proficiency in. This is the challenge faced by many eight-year-olds in Rwanda as they are forced to make the transition from learning in their mother tongue, Kinyarwanda in the early years to English. However, a new £362,000 University of Bristol project is aiming to remove this barrier to learning through the development of innovative teacher training and new accessible textbooks for pupils.
