World English Language Day: DR Congo's Ministry of Edu-NC commits to strengthening English at all levels

On April 23 of every year , the world celebrates World English Language Day, a moment dedicated to highlighting one of the most widely spoken languages on the planet. The topic of this year's global celebration is “AI and Education: Preserving Autonomy in an Automated World”. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Education and Training Sector Strategy (SSEF) has highlighted a clear commitment to strengthening English at all levels of the national education system. This reform aims to endow students - the country's future leaders - with the tools they need to: - deepen scientific knowledge; - prepare students to integrate fully into the globalized world; - support and accelerate national development. According to SSEF, mastery of the English language is a crucial factor in a nation's economic growth, and its enhancement at all levels of education is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
