The British Council offers opportunities for schools to develop their knowledge of Chinese language and culture through activities funded by the Scottish Government.
2011 Mandarin Chinese Speaking Competition
This annual competition is supported by the HSBC Global Education Programme and organised by the British Council to support and promote the teaching of Chinese as a modern foreign language in UK schools. The regional heats are underway as schools compete for a place in the final and a chance to win a trip to China in April.
