The Ministry of Higher Education Science Technology and Innovation signed last Wednesday a memorandum with the Chinese multinational Huawei.
The agreement aims to develop a set of actions that contribute to the development of a training and talent training plan in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in higher education institutions in Angola.
According to the minister of Higher Education Science Technology and Innovation, Rosária Bragança Sambo, the memorandum will allow for improvements in human training and infrastructure in the higher education subsystem.
"This memo provides for the training of teachers and staff, as well as the provision of ICTs in higher education institutions", he said.
The agreement foresees that Huawei supports with equipment so that courses in the areas of technology can have full accreditation in terms of teaching and learning.
