Show notes
This week on The Long Form, I speak with Damien Vassallo, the Head of School and CEO of Ntare Louisenlund International School, one of Rwanda’s most elite and forward-thinking institutions. From his journey as an American educator to his role shaping education in Bugesera, Rwanda we explore the stark realities of academic inequality, the challenges of transitioning students from local schools, and the high cost of quality education in a low-income country.We also tackle Rwanda’s education reforms, the mindsets educators are trying to shift — and why some teachers are terrified of AI in the classroom.This is a conversation about power, privilege, pedagogy, and the future of learning in Africa.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.
