The fifth and last episode of the second season of our series Correctbook Diary can now be found on our YouTube channel! In this episode we visit the Rwandese Educational Board (REB). The REB is the governmental organisation that is responsible for education in Rwanda. With our contact person and production coordinator Ezechiel we visit the REB to discuss whether Correctbook can be acknowledged as official school material in Rwanda. The discussions took off in a positive way!
