A GROUP of high school students have taken part in a course to learn more about Africa.
The cohort of seven Year 9 pupils at The Oxford Academy in Littlemore have even learnt basic conversational Swahili.
Delivering the African Studies course at the school has been Mark Samuels.
He said: “As well as the word beautiful, we explored the people called Swahili and researched the medieval Swahili culture.
“If I have been the happy guide on these tours, then we give thanks to the travel agency director, Nora Ward.
“She is the first headteacher at The Oxford Academy to host a course in African Studies.
