A South African social entrepreneur has sparked international dialogue by posing critical questions to China about education accessibility and youth empowerment through CGTN's 'Ask China' campaign. Drawing from his experience operating mobile libraries in underserved communities, his inquiry highlights growing global interest in China's educational strategies as tools for social development.
Bridging Knowledge Gaps
The entrepreneur's work providing books to remote areas mirrors China's own efforts to expand digital education infrastructure across rural regions. This year, the Chinese mainland announced plans to install 5G-enabled learning hubs in 10,000 villages by late 2026, building on previous initiatives that reduced regional education disparities by 42% since 2020.
Global Youth Collaboration
China's Ministry of Education recently reported a 67% increase in African students pursuing technical degrees in the country since 2023, with artificial intelligence and sustainable development emerging as top fields. The 'Ask China' campaign now invites global participants to submit questions about vocational training systems and cross-cultural exchange programs shaping Asia's future workforce.
