African students show skills in contest
China DailyA group of talented African students had their vocational skills put to the test at the Africa Tech Challenge Season IX 2024 in Beijing recently, and for many of the winners, the experience was a dream come true. "I want to thank the ATC for making all their efforts to help talented youngsters in Africa and letting us showcase our talent here in the capital city of China," said Mpofu, who is a student at Ningbo Polytechnic, a vocational college in Zhejiang province. A total of 73 young people from seven African countries — Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Rwanda — took part in the ATC IX, which was co-hosted by the China Education Association for International Exchange and AVIC International Holding, the international trade wing of Aviation Industry Corp of China, a State-owned aircraft conglomerate. Zhong Sijun, deputy general manager of AVIC International Holding, said that by hosting the skills contest, his company aims to enhance the vocational competence of African youth and promote cooperation in vocational education between China and Africa.
