The cooperation between South Africa and China continues to bear fruits; this is evident in a number of initiatives between the two nations. In a bid to address the skills shortages, the Department of Higher Education and Training will send a number of local students to China to study scarce and critical skills of the future. In a recent statement the Department of Education said about 100 students will study in China next year.
Higher Education and Training Minister, Dr Nobuhle Nkabane (pictured) made the announcement during a media briefing held recently.
Nkabane noted that South Africa has a long-standing cooperation with the People’s Republic of China in various areas of higher education and training, which continues to grow and support South Africa’s knowledge and skills development.
