China is currently the second most popular country, surpassing the likes of the USA and UK, for African students studying abroad, and the numbers are expected to rise in the future.
This dramatic increase in students from Africa to China is in part the result of the growth of China-African ties, as well as China’s targeted focus on strengthening African human resource and education development by providing both financial and political support for African education at home and abroad in China.
To really understand the motives of African students coming to China and what China has to offer, two key questions arise:
-What are the main reasons for African students coming to China to pursue an education or career?
-Can studying in China really create jobs for Africans?
Join us to listen to a personal and data-driven lecture on the history & trends of African students in China and what next for the future by Hannah Ryder, the CEO of the first-ever Kenyan Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise in China and the China representative for China Africa Advisory.
