Chinese tutors have been hired to teach at Kenyan universities after an agreement was negotiated between the two countries.
The partnership involves bringing in Chinese professionals to share their technical skills with Kenyan students at local universities.
According to the principal secretary of university education, Simon Nabukwesi, the aim of the agreement is to enable TUSEN to take on more technical roles in the sector.

According to a report by Nation, the project is expected to start at Taita Taveta University based in Voi.
“Research has shown that this type of expertise is lacking in East and Central Africa as well as in Southern Africa.
“The center that is going to be established here can serve a region much larger than Kenya, and it is in the spirit of internationalizing our universities so that they can attract those who are interested in special programs from other countries. “Nabukwesi said.

Taita Taveta University Vice-Chancellor Simiyu Barasa welcomed the move, noting that Chinese government support would help capitalize on TUSEN’ potential.

“Two of our speakers are already in China to work on innovation. We will be more modern thanks to our partnerships with experts and the support of the Chinese government, ”he said.

The agreement becomes the last of the working relationship between China and the Kenyan government. The two countries have maintained mutual relations in the past with China, in charge of major development projects in the country.

Projects include the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), Thika Highway, Outer Ring Road and Nairobi Highway.

Others include the Ksh 16 billion extension of the Waiyaki Way road and the Ksh 900 million extension of the terminals at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
