Before the visitors from abroad, USTM students also gave a lovely cultural presentation of the eight northeastern states. Dr Patrick Mouguiama-Daouda, the minister of higher education for Gabon, spoke to a sizable audience of students and faculty members and stressed his willingness to engage on inter-university initiatives while emphasising the significance of student and teacher mobility for higher education.
The agreement would serve as a mechanism for establishing a cooperation, particularly between USTM and other colleges in Gabon. For the first three years, our students can take their classes online before heading to India to continue their education. Students from India can also go to Gabon for additional education. I can guarantee you that Gabon is more than capable of managing the students who travel there for higher education. because Gabon has a very strict policy governing social aid for students. He said that the students' meals and lodging are also taken care of by the government of Gabon. The same advantages are also available to Indian students who travel to Gabon to study, he noted
