A delegation of Applied Science University students visits China to observe its technological experiences
Al-Fajam: An opportunity to explore pioneering experiences and return to Kuwait with new ideas
Liu Xiang: We hope the visit will help build new bridges between the youth of the two countries
The Public Authority for Applied Education and Training announced that a delegation of its outstanding students from the College of Technological Studies would visit China to observe the experiences of several of its universities and educational institutions in the cities of Shenzhen and Shanghai, as well as leading companies and factories in the fields of technology, industry, and innovation.
Dr. Hassan Al-Fajam, Director General of the Authority, stated in a comment that the delegation comprises 10 students and departed for China on Thursday evening. The visit is the result of cooperation between the Authority and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Kuwait, and reflects the Authority’s commitment to broadening the horizons of its students and linking applied education and training with advanced global practices and experiences.
Al-Fajam added that cooperation with the Chinese Embassy represents a model of international partnerships through which the Authority seeks to make the student the primary beneficiary of international collaboration. The visit will further enhance students’ access to international expertise and provide them with the opportunity to closely observe the latest technological and industrial applications.
He clarified that the visit program includes field trips to several major technological and industrial companies, including Huawei, Robotic, and BYD. This will enable students to transition from theoretical knowledge in classrooms to observing practical applications in advanced industrial and technological environments, and to learn about the latest technologies in artificial intelligence, digital transformation, robotics, automation, smart manufacturing, electric vehicles, energy, and modern technologies.
He noted that this would help students connect their academic studies with real-world applications in the industry and technology sectors. “We want students of the Authority not to limit themselves to what they learn in the classroom, but to see the world, explore pioneering experiences, and return to Kuwait with new ideas and aspirations.”
For his part, Liu Xiang, Counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Kuwait, emphasized the importance of educational and technological cooperation in strengthening relations between the two friendly countries. He pointed out that investing in youth and building communication bridges between educational and industrial institutions are among the most important paths of sustainable cooperation.
Xiang said that allowing students from the Applied Education and Training Authority to closely observe the Chinese experience, particularly in universities, companies, and factories, would provide them with a comprehensive picture of China’s progress in technology, innovation, and industry. He expressed his hope that the visit would contribute to building new bridges of knowledge and understanding between the youth of the two countries, and mark the beginning of further exchange and cooperation programs between educational and technological institutions in China and Kuwait.
