BILATERAL and warm relations existing between Tanzania and China has benefitted more Tanzanians to enjoy 179 scholarships in various studies in the Far East Asia nation.

The scholarships supported by the Chinese government have been facilitated through the Chinese Embassy in the country. Beneficiaries will undertake graduate and post graduate studies majoring on areas of priorities as preferred by the ministry of education and vocational training including science courses.

Speaking at the send-off ceremony held in Dar es Salaam to Tanzanians who are set to travel to China for their studies, Chinese deputy ambassador to Tanzania Mr Zhang Biao said the embassy will keep on supporting governments’ efforts to boost education in the county.

“These 179 scholarships is a direct reflection of the bilateral relationship and a clear testimony to the quality of experience that this friendship can offer,” he said.

According to him, the education and overall experience that one receives from China can make a life-long contribution to the growth and development of each side.

He said the embassy is committed to promote contemporary awareness and active involvement in developmental issues between Tanzania and China through these initiative efforts.

On her part, the Director for Higher Education in the Ministry of Education, Professor Silvia Temu, highly commended the Chinese embassy for making concerted efforts in support of the nation as she highlighted some of the achievements realised so far.

The director told the gathering that the ministry on its part has made concerted efforts in upgrading its work force through capacity building.

“With due respect our government is very moved by such kind of support in the growth of our nation through education,” she said, adding that in 2013/14 there were 38 scholarships, 2014/15 (85) and 2015/16 there were 68 number of scholarships as well.

“Upon completion of your studies you are expected to become more knowledgeable on issues you are bound start pursuing and you are therefore expected to deliver for national development,” she underlined, amid applause that punctuated her speech.

“Consider yourselves as men who have done what they consider to be their duties to their people and their country. You are strongly advised to be our good ambassadors while in China,” she added.
