現代アフリカ地域研究センターでは、日本アフリカ学会関東支部との共催で、第24回ASCセミナーを開催します。本セミナーでは、ブルンジで唯一、英語を中心とした教育を実践しているSummitInternational Institute のンジャウ学長をお招きします。
近年、東アフリカ共同体（EAC）の拡大、深化が、ブルンジの高等教育にも影響を与えるようになってきました。ンジャウ学長には、「ブルンジが直面する課題：高等教育の観点から」と題し、ブルンジの高等教育と英語教育がどのような役割を果たすべきか、そしてEAC への加盟により生じている同国の変化と今後の課題についてお話しいただきます。

?講演者: サミュエル?イルング?ンジャウ教授
（Summit International Institute ／学長、創設者）
?略 歴：Samuel Irungu Njau is the chairman and founder of Summit International Institute in Burundi. He has worked in higher education in Kenya, Burundi Tanzania, Rwanda. As the president of Summit International, the only English Language university in the country, he has extensive contacts throughout the region and has been assigned by the government to assist in tourism, education and trade.
?要 旨：Burundi is the poorest country in the world. That metric means that out of 196 countries it is dead last. While that may seem like an extremely difficult situation, there is a silver lining, and that is that things can only improve. When the East Africa Community (EAC) was reformed, it was expanded from the original three (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) to include Rwanda and Burundi, and now South Sudan. This reformed EAC has repositioned the newer members further into East Africa geopolitically, creating numerous opportunities, due to the new free movement of people, business, and education. These newly created opportunities under the umbrella of the EAC can only be positive for Burundi. This presentation will discuss some of social implications, mainly from the perspective of higher education and the role that English must play, as it becomes the lingua Franca of the region. The presenter will give personal insight on the consequences of this rapid changing social and economic situation, as well as discuss current and future challenges that the country will face.
