Ruanda gaat van Frans over op Engels
De Fransen en de Belgen schijnen het te hebben opgegeven. Frans in Oost Afrika.
Wat passages http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/a...h-drops-french "In Rwanda, a former Belgian colony, most schools had long been taught in French and early grades conducted in the country’s native tongue, Kinyarwanda. Over the last two years, Rwanda’s schools have undergone a lightning quick linguistic transformation. In January 2009, students in selected grades began to study in English." "When we look worldwide, English is spoken more than French,” he said. “Our children are going to travel the world, import and export. This is an economic issue. We don’t want them being isolated.” "Yet to some, Rwanda’s language policy reflects broader geopolitical considerations. Though a Belgian colony from World War I until its 1962 independence, Rwanda was long viewed by Paris as a stronghold of French-speaking Africa with which France has held close, often paternalistic relations in the post-colonial era." "Today, the United Kingdom and the United States are Rwanda's largest bilateral donors and last year Rwanda followed Mozambique as just the second nation lacking British colonial ties to join the Commonwealth. The United States boasts a gleaming $80 million embassy in the Rwandan capital, while the former French cultural center is a decaying emblem of vanished post-colonial grandeur: gates shackled, grass overgrown, and paint chipping from its concrete facade." Ondertussen is het primaire onderwijs nu al goeddeels in het prachtige Kinyarwanda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6N6YODc088 |
Rwanda is nooit een kolonie geweest, het was een mandaatgebied en het werd bestuurt vanuit Belgisch-Congo.
De koloniale taal? Koloniale belangen gaan over de taalgrenzen heen. De zone francafrique is niet meer dan een mythe als het over allianties gaat. http://www.elsschelfhout.be/index.php?id=19&tx_ttnews[pointer]=1&tx[/url]_ttnews[tt_news]=112&tx_ttnews[backPid]=5&cHash=ba57ea4e0f13a62fd9323396c5d2ce4a link werkt niet rechtstreeks.
