Sixty Ghanaian students have been granted Chinese government scholarships for the 2015-2016 academic year.
The students came through heated competitions to win the scholarships to pursue further studies in China in various fields.
At a reception for the students in Accra Friday night, the Chinese
Ambassador to Ghana Sun Baohong reiterated the importance of deepening
cooperation between China and Ghana on education.
“I firmly believe you will integrate your personal ideal with the
grand cause of the transformation of Ghana, and by applying what you
have learnt in China, contribute your due share to the national
development and social progress of your motherland,” Sun said.
The
deputy minister for pre-tertiary Education Alex Kyeremeh was grateful
to the Chinese government for the scholarships and various supports to
the sector saying they have greatly impacted positively on Ghana’s human
resource and economic development.
He advised the students to comport themselves in a worthy manner
befitting the status of ambassadors since they are now ambassadors of
Ghana.
Esther Nuekie Annang, on behalf of the beneficiaries, thanked the Chinese government for the opportunity.
The students will join a large group of over 3,700 Ghanaian students studying in China.
