Commonwealth has launched a booklet dubbed ‘student pack’ that focuses on teaching students about the Commonwealth, its values and its benefits.
The booklet was launched by Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, UK Minister of State for the Commonwealth yesterday.
The minister was in Rwanda to discuss Rwanda’s preparedness to host the Commonwealth Heads of Governments Meeting (CHOGM 2021).
The booklets titled ‘Learn about the Commonwealth’, written in English and Kinyarwanda language will be distributed to Rwandan secondary schools two months before Rwanda hosts CHOGM for 2021 in June.
With twenty-six pages, the booklet that indicates a total number of Commonwealth member states and their respective flags was launched at the Girl effect Rwanda headquarters in Kigali city on 30 April 2021.
The booklet also explains Commonwealth charter values including Gender equality, freedom of expression, tolerance, respect and understanding of people’s opinions, the role of civil society, and good governance.
