The Republic of Congo gets inspired by Russian experience in the field of education, inspector general of the Congolese Ministry of Technical and Vocational Education David Anga told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the II International Forum of Ministers of Education in Russia’s Kazan.

“We draw a lot of inspiration from the Russian experience. And above all, [it’s] the artificial intelligence that we want to develop at home. […] Russians are open [to sharing experience]. They give you all the secrets of science. It's not like other countries,” he said.

The official also recalled the country’s long tradition in the educational area.

“Russia is a country which has a long tradition in technical and vocational education, which has also trained many Congolese executives. I myself was also educated here in Russia,” he added.
