EDUCATION ABROAD

Muranga county government, in collaboration with selected Finnish and Canadian universities, on Friday 3^rd February 2023 held The Muranga international education symposium at Muranga University.

This created a platform where Muranga residents had a candid conversation with the Governor and Finnish and Canadian representatives who explained the merits and challenges of studying abroad.

Merits include access to high quality education, employment prospects and possible pathway to foreign citizenship. Potential challenges include: high cost of living in the west; language barrier and requirements for strict social ethics.

They also explained the requirements for the students who would wish to study abroad which include:

• Valid passport
• Proof of financial support (It should be noted that the program is self sponsored).
• A law abiding citizen in this case- one must provide a letter of good conduct.
• Medical examination
• A study plan

Muranga county government will serve as a link between the students who wish to join the study program in selected universities in Finland and Canada to ensure that visas are processed within a short period of time. Certificates courses will take about 2 semesters while diploma courses will take about 2 years and the degree program is expected to take about 2 and a half years depending on the course selected.
