    I was curious how much overlap there would be, since Mozambique was Portuguese and Tanzania was British, and I'm used to colonial languages being the language of instruction at universities, but the article explains that they have Kiswahili in common.

    It seems there's an interesting element here of "you can teach our students Kiswahili and we'll teach yours Portuguese, if they want." I like that. As far as English goes in Tanzania, the Government primary schools (free) teach kids in Kiswahili. If children are to be taught in English, their parents have to pay and send them to private schools. (That's straight from the article.)

    Bahati nzuri na wao! (Good luck to them!) :smile:
