The East Africa Education Library features resources for students and teachers in South Sudan, Ethiopia and Rwanda. Building on our general English-language Education Collection, the majority of the resources in this regional library are in English, per the request of our partners. However, there are also resources in Amharic, Kinyarwanda and Kiswahili.
The digital resources in this library focus on topics and issues relevant to the students and teachers we serve across East Africa, including curricula and syllabi, textbooks, arts and culture, and storybooks.
