Based on the original, I think the sentence would sound more natural this way: Using English as a medium of instruction would be / is helpful for people living in non-English speaking countries whose desire is to develop / improve their language skills.

medium or means? I think means is more appropriate in this context.

I'd like to make a correction to my question version: "instruction"(singular) instead of "instructions".

The poster's question refers to the use of English as the language spoken in public schools (public instruction) in non-English speaking countries.

This has been done in my country for almost a decade so far.

But, I think that's not enough since we may need to improve the system instead of applying approaches or changes suitable for first world countries.

Cheers!
