China and India’s aid to education and training in Africa

India and China appear to offer similar opportunities to Africa with thousands of short-term training courses, and large number of government scholarships. But what of their soft power offerings through the Confucius Institutes and Indian cultural centres? What is the scale of self-finance study in India and China?

The seminar will examine these questions, and the forms cooperation that can be achieved through non-governmental organisations and the private sector.
