Mastering the French language !!!

Senegal is a multilingual country, but French is the official language of Senegal under Article I of the Constitution. It is the only language of instruction and administration. It is in this capacity that remains until now the only institutional means of social promotion. The 1990 report of the High Council of the Francophonie puts the real figure of French in Senegal to 10% and the occasional French to 14%. This situation is not without raising questions whose answer is in the very history of the country and its colonial heritage.
