Tuning in a whole new world of global information

At Uthiru Primary School in Kenya's Kiambu County, grade six students are glued to a video screen, quietly following an educational program.

The new development that has made learning more real and enjoyable was facilitated by a project to provide satellite television access to 10,000 African villages.

The project, announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping during the opening of the 2015 Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, is a cooperative effort aimed at reducing the digital divide in Africa's rural areas.
