University helps Gambia train high-tech personnel

According to the spokesman, the four-year college courses will be attended by 25 Gambian senior high graduates carefully selected by Gambia government.

Upon completion of their college studies at NTUT, the 25 students will be awarded B.E. degrees, the spokesman said, adding that they are expected to go on to contribute to their own country’s high-tech industry.

The academic program will help construct an “African Silicon Valley” in Gambia, providing higher education opportunities in technology to Gambian students, the spokesman said, adding that the program will also boost Taiwan-Gambia relations, the spokesman said.

The NTUT has made efforts during recent years to recruit international students with an aim of improving the school’s international profile, and has enrolled a total of 153 foreign students from 22 countries, the spokesman said.
