A bit more on the introduction of Portuguese in schools in Namibia

In September I mentioned that Namibia is planning to introduce Portuguese into the curriculum in 2012, and an article here in English today gives some more detail:

- It could be introduced into secondary schools as early as January
- The subject offering would depend on the availability of teachers
- Portugal will assist by training teachers and giving scholarships
- There are currently 4000 Namibians studying Portuguese, plus a number of foreign ministry officials.

This makes a total of three countries near Angola (and one bordering Mozambique as well) that have elected to introduce Portuguese into the schools.

Republic of the Congo in 2010.
