The Zambian government is fully committed to multilingual education. Students first take lessons in the local language, Luvale, and then move into higher grades where lessons are taught in English. The bilingual education system is bearing fruit: multilingualism reduces the learning gap between school children, pupils pick things up faster and develop better reading skills. 

Grandmother Lucy and school leader Justin testify about their experiences with multilingual education in Zambia.

Gender sensitive school leadership

Rwanda and Nicaragua score higher than Belgium on the Global Gender Gap Index. For example, the Rwandan government has made serious efforts to promote gender equality in public and private life. This progressive gender policy is starting to bear fruit in the education sector: girls' access to primary and secondary education in Rwanda is among the highest on the African continent. This is partly due to the attention that gender receives within teacher training and training courses for school leaders. In Belgium, a gender course is not a compulsory part of teacher training nor a requirement for school management. Moreover, girls and boys still choose very stereotypical studies and teaching educational materials are often not gender sensitive.
