President Announces Launch of Joint Education Programme.
President Julius Maada Bio has announced the official launch of a Joint Education Programme involving China Railway Seventh Group, Zhengzhou Railway Technical College, and Freetown Polytechnic.
According to the President, the programme is focused on technical and vocational education and aims to strengthen skills development through structured training and international collaboration.
The initiative brings together industry expertise from China Railway Seventh Group, academic and technical support from Zhengzhou Railway Technical College, and local implementation through Freetown Polytechnic.
The programme is expected to provide practical, hands-on training for students, particularly in technical and engineering-related fields, and support workforce development in Sierra Leone.
Young people and prospective students are encouraged to pay attention to this programme, seek accurate information through the appropriate institutions, and take advantage of the training opportunities available, as technical skills remain critical to employment and national development.
