South Korea has granted Kenyans additional scholarships to undertake postgraduate studies in Nuclear Science. Six more Kenyan students are to be admitted in 2014 to KEPCO International Nuclear Graduate School (Kings) for the two- year Engineering programme.
“We have made a full scholarship offer for about six more Kenyan students we hope to enroll next year,” said Prof. Han Kiln, the Dean of Academic Affairs of the Graduate School, on Wednesday during a visit to the school by MPs and a team of officials from Kenyas Ministry of Energy.“For now, we only admit those we have offered scholarships, but Kenya as a government can offer other scholarships and we shall enroll them,” the dean added. “There is growing demand for practical nuclear experts and engineers as well as professionals.”
This follows a few months after a team of eleven Kenyans was sent to Korea to undertake similar studies. The team was picked from various parastatals in the Ministry of Energy with efforts to enhance electricity generation capacity to over 19,000 MW by 2030.
In 2012, six students from the Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board, Kenya Power and Lighting Company and Kenya’s Radiation Protection Board were admitted and now concluding their two-year Masters Programme in Power Generation, transmission, and Radiation Safety.
