Scholarship details
The Chinese government in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), has encouraged young Africans to participate in the Chinese Government Scholarships.
The Government of the People’s Republic of China has made scholarship offers to the African Union Commission, through the Department of Human Resources, Science and Technology, to enable African students to study in China. Department of Human Resources, Science and Technology of the African Union Commission has the role of coordinating AU programs in education and human resource development; science, technology and innovation, and youth empowerment.
The African Union’s Department of Human Resources, Science and Technology provides technical support to Member states in the development and implementation of policies and programs towards harmonization, intra-African collaboration and experience sharing, as well as quality assurance in these fields, a contribution to the attainment of the AU vision of integration, peace, and prosperity of Africa.
The rich country has well over 14 million teachers in more than 520 thousand schools dedicate and devote themselves to the cause of education and to their 257 million students. There can be no doubt that this is the key step in the process of changing China from a country with a big population into a country rich in human resources. Nor can it be ignored that China’s education system is the largest in the world, and the pace of development of its 30-year education undertaking is the fastest in history.
n the space of thirty years, China’s education system has transformed from one accessible to an elite to one accessible by the masses. For instance, the higher education entrance rate in 1980s was less than four percent. In 2002, the figure had reached fifteen percent, an internationally recognized mark that signaled a new stage of China’s education development: mass education. By 2013 the rate had soared to 35%.
As an open, inclusive, and vigorous society is the prerequisite that ensures the accelerated growth of an education system. During the last three decades education has transformed the nation and Chinese society.
