Full Description

Project narrative

On 17 August 2010, the Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Jamaica, Liu Kan, issued acceptance letters to 11 Jamaican students admitted to Chinese universities. The 11 students pursued their Master's Degree or PhD beginning in September 2010, which was funded by the Chinese Government Scholarship Programme. The 2010 Chinese Government Scholarship Programme covered academic disciplines including economics, electronics, financial engineering, biology, pedagogics, tourism management, and environment engineering. The students were Kadeon Richards, Taurean Allen, Davin Ferrigon, Vascyon Thompson, Dehanney Miller, Ramona Lawson, Sheree Wilson, and Krystal Lyn, who were enrolled in master’s degree programmes; while Milton Richardson, Michael Palmer and Lisandra Colley, pursued doctoral studies.
