The Principal of the T. A. Marryshow Community College, Andrew Abraham, has successfully concluded a transformative trip to The People’s Republic of China.
During his visit to the Ningbo University of Technology on November 19, 2024, Principal Abraham, Dr Jiang Fan Director of the Confucius Institute at TAMCC, and Mr. Ian Marshall, Grenada’s Resident Ambassador to China, engaged in meaningful discussions with officials, including Professor Shao Qianjun, President of Ningbo University of Technology, and Mr. Chen Jinhui, Deputy Director General of the Ningbo Education Bureau.
With Ambassador Marshall’s assistance, Principal Abraham secured five prestigious scholarships from The Ningbo Municipal People’s Government Education Bureau. This remarkable achievement includes four bachelor’s degree scholarships dedicated to deserving students within the Automotive Service Technology and Building Technology programmes and one master’s degree dedicated to a faculty member at the college, aimed at enhancing international educational opportunities and fostering cultural exchange.
The scholarships will empower students and faculty from TAMCC to participate in exchange programs, embrace study opportunities, and contribute to collaborative projects in Ningbo, thereby enriching their academic and cultural experiences. Additionally, this partnership between both institutions can assist in curriculum development within the technical programmes offered by the College.
“We are thrilled to have established this valuable partnership with The Ningbo Municipal People’s Government Education Bureau,” said Principal Abraham. “These scholarships not only represent an opportunity for our students and faculty to broaden their horizons but also strengthen our College’s commitment to global education. We look forward to fostering lasting relationships with the Ningbo University of Technology and promoting cross-cultural educational partnership and understanding.”
This initiative is part of a broader effort by TAMCC to expand its international outreach and provide students with enriching global experiences that prepare them for success in a dynamic world.
