What they say about the French- English transition

In 2008, Rwanda introduced English as the official medium of instruction in schools, government institutions and the private sector. However, 2011 is the year when English has fully been enrolled into the school system. This is word on the street about the transition. “It’s for the greater good for the future generation; the country made a wise decision to switch to the English system. Rwandans can now express themselves in several countries since more countries speak English than French. Therefore we benefit more.” Jesse Maxella, Program Manager Flash FM Radio.
