The Confucius Institute at the University of Cape Coast will continue to promote the YCT test and provide opportunities for Chinese language learners of different ages and levels to learn Chinese. The introduction of this test into primary and secondary schools, will further stimulate the interest of Ghanaian students in learning Chinese, enhance their confidence in learning Chinese, and promote the study of Chinese.
