ayrshire displayA group of Education professionals from Tianjin in China is visiting Scotland this week, furthering the partnerships between Tianjin schools and Scottish secondary schools developed through the Confucius Classrooms programme managed by Learning and Teaching Scotland.

Yesterday a LTS national China showcase event attracted around 200 staff and students to Stirling to enjoy performances and demonstrations of Scottish classroom activity related to Chinese culture and language. Each of the Confucius Classroom regional hubs in Scotland also displayed material and shared their experience of curricular work.

An article in The Herald ‘Let young Scots learn Mandarin, Confucius says’ reports on the visit and the importance of international partnership working in Education.

A LTS press release gives background details.
