The Ambassador of the United Kingdom, Jon Benjamin, will visit the facilities of the University of Technology Paso del Norte (UTPN) in Ciudad Juárez this Friday, 18 November, as part of his work tour in the State of Chihuahua.
This is because the diplomat will be present as an honorary witness to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between UT Paso del Norte and the British organization Skills for Prosperity.
In this alliance, educational institutions will be equipped with computer equipment to create special laboratories for Internet of Things, Advanced Robotics, and Mobile Robotics, and transform UTPN into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
The Chancellor of UTPN, Ulises Martínez Contreras, emphasized that this was not a protocol visit to sign an alliance, but rather to serve the interests of the ambassador, to confirm the significant progress that the institution has made, and to meet with those who have contributed to this process.
He explained, to arrive at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, a series of stages had been carried out, including training for educators and education staff, as well as verification of adequate facilities for the installation of the equipment to be donated.
Martínez Contreras assured that what was done by UTPN in the previous process had been described by Skills as a very good performance, therefore it was decided that the signing of this document witnessed by British diplomats.
