The nine students who were flagged off to China last week for a two week language culture and ICT training are set to officially commence their programme following an opening ceremony that was officiated by the officer in charge of education at the Kenyan embassy in Kenya in China, Mr Reuben Augut.
Speaking on behalf of the Kenyan Ambassador to China, Mr Augut commended Huawei for taking practical steps in capacity development for Kenyans students. He also commended China on being in the lead in terms of ICT and development and urged the students to export and implement the skills learned back to Kenya.

After completing the language and culture training the nine students will then proceed to the Huawei University in Shenzhen to receive training in cutting edge technology on 5G, LTE, and cloud computing whilst visiting the state of the art Huawei labs.
The training will be done alongside their peers from Singapore and South Africa. The Seeds for the future programme is currently running in 22 countries across Africa with the aim to expand to more countries.
