Burundi would like to open branches of Russian universities so that Burundian students could come to Russia also with language skills, the African country's Minister of Education and Scientific Research, Francois Habyarimana, told Sputnik on Saturday.
"We would like that. But so far there are not enough human and financial resources to implement it. It would be nice to organize such a format of education, so that students from Burundi who come here [to Russia] would have an easier time thanks to the language learned [in branches of Russian universities]," the minister said.
He added that while the idea is not on the immediate agenda but judging from his discussions with Russian authorities it is feasible.
