2. Democratic Republic of the Congo

GDP Growth Rank: 9

English Proficiency Rank: 1

Average Rank: 5

We all know that English proficiency enhances opportunities for higher education and employment, particularly in sectors such as tourism, business, and NGOs. Moreover, the DRC’s rich linguistic diversity, with French as the official language and numerous local languages, creates a need for English as a bridge language for communication within the country and with English-speaking regions. These factors converge to fuel the high demand for English teachers in the DRC.

It is also the country with the lowest English proficiency in the world, ranking 113th in the English proficiency index by EF.
