Partnerships with China

Our China programme offers a variety of different funding opportunities to help schools in the UK develop both partnerships with Chinese schools and the teaching of Chinese within their own school.

The programme aims to establish sustainable links that will impact on the development of the schools and colleges involved; to enrich the curriculum and support language awareness and learning; and to provide professional development opportunities for staff.

We are very grateful for the support of the HSBC Global Education Programme in funding parts of the China programme.
