Chinese firm Huawei signs training agreement with Senegal's education ministry

June 24, 2016


DAKAR -- Senegal's Higher Education Minister Mary Teuw Niane and the Director General of Huawei Senegal, Yu Yong, signed a training agreement on June 21 under the program dubbed "Seeds for the Future," through which ten Senegalese students will benefit from training in China.

Huawei's "Seeds for the Future" program will reach 167 countries, 140 universities and over 1,700 students.

The agreement will enable Senegal to join the Huawei program and for Senegalese students to benefit from training in China, the Senegalese minister said.

He said the process for selecting beneficiaries will be done "without any discrimination of anyone through an inclusive selection panel."

"The program will not only enable our students to improve themselves, but also meet students from other parts of the world and hence enhance their network," he said.

"We hope that this new collaboration will be fruitful for the two parties and will contribute to the training of quality human resource that is necessary for attracting large companies like Huawei to Senegal," he said.

The director of Huawei in Senegal said the "program will train beneficiaries in the new information and communication technologies."

"We are ready for the collaboration and we believe that beneficiaries will explore all possibilities offered by Huawei," Yu said.

He said the beneficiaries of the program will undergo a two-week training in China. During the first week, they will learn about the Chinese culture and the second week, they will learn about the information and communication technologies.
