The China Zimbabwe Exchange Centre (CZEC) is set to host its first education-focused seminar in Harare, offering students and parents a gateway to study opportunities in China.
The seminar will take place on March 28, 2026, alongside the Schools Expo at the Celebration Centre along Borrowdale Road, with activities running concurrently in Jubilee Hall.
CZEC Deputy General Director Mongameli B. Dhlamini said the initiative aims to provide reliable, first-hand information to Zimbabwean students interested in pursuing higher education in China.
“Students and parents will receive accurate and credible guidance on studying in China, including application procedures, scholarship opportunities and available programmes,” said Dhlamini.
The event promises to be more than just an information session. Attendees will have access to on-the-spot university registration opportunities, insights into career prospects in both Zimbabwe and China, and interactive sessions with alumni who have studied in China.
Organisers have also infused a cultural element into the programme, with Chinese food tastings and cultural showcases expected to give participants a broader appreciation of life in China.
Established in 2022, CZEC has positioned itself as a key facilitator of cultural, educational and business exchanges between Zimbabwe and China. The organisation has already been involved in initiatives such as the Spring Festival Carnival and continues to expand its footprint in youth-focused programmes.
China remains one of Zimbabwe’s strategic partners, with cooperation spanning infrastructure development, agriculture and healthcare. The education sector has increasingly become another pillar of engagement, with thousands of international students enrolling in Chinese universities each year.

With more than 3,000 institutions of higher learning, China offers a wide range of academic programmes, particularly in science, technology and innovation. For Zimbabwean students, this presents an opportunity to gain globally competitive skills while experiencing a different cultural environment.
The upcoming seminar is expected to draw significant interest from students, parents and education stakeholders seeking to explore international study pathways.
As Dhlamini noted, the goal is not just to inform, but to inspire.
“This is about opening doors and helping young Zimbabweans take the first step towards global opportunities.”
