Grant Description
On September 8, 2019, the Chinese Embassy in South Africa held a farewell ceremony for a delegation of 31 students from SASCO (South African Students Congress) traveling to study in China.
This is the first time the Embassy has sponsored students from SASCO and is cited as a result of the agreements on student exchange made during the 2018 FOCAC (Forum on China-Africa Cooperation).
Ambassador Lin Songtian encouraged the students to learn from China's development experience and contribute to South Africa's economic transformation and development in the future.
The two-week trip lasted from September 9 to 23, during which the students visited Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen successively and interacted with Chinese University students and representatives of the Federation of Students.
SASCO was established in 1991 through a merger of SANSCO and NUSAS, and is composed of students of South African higher learning institutions.
According to their website, SASCO "champions the interests of students and seeks to ensure access and success in these institutions, by fighting for (1) more and better accommodation, (2) more computer labs, (3) more and better-equipped libraries, (4) lower costs of education etc."
