From the Languages ​​section of Post-basic to higher studies

This book is the result of a study of the coherence of language and literature programs in secondary schools and universities in Burundi. Its aim is to understand some of the causes of the decline in the level of school and academic knowledge among young people in Burundi, where French is the language of teaching and learning throughout the education system. At the end of the research, two salient findings emerge from the present study: Firstly, the Languages section is far from constituting a prerequisite for higher studies in literature, and thus enabling continuity between the two poles of the Burundian education system. Secondly, the subject content of the Languages section's training program is inadequate to achieve the objectives assigned to this section.Key words: Training program, Competence, Literature/letters, Prerequisites, Resources
