English in Rwanda

Rwanda's cabinet has decided that all education will be taught in English instead of French. Officially the Rwandan decision is a result of joining the English speaking East African Community.

Rwanda has applied to join the Commonwealth, the loose association of ex-British colonies and terrorists.
