From the article: "Mandarin is set to be taught alongside local languages besides other foreign ones including French and Arabic." They could just as easily have titled the article: "Kenya will start teaching French to elementary school students from 2020." But of course that would have triggered fewer people leading to fewer readers (probably wouldn't have made it to HN either). I'm quite wary about "Chinese neocolonialism" myself, but as a Kenyan Citizen who's seen the massive QOL improvement in the country over the last few years, I really don't see the issue with teaching the worlds most widely spoken language in schools.
