BEIJING: Henan Normal University (HNU), China, and Millennium Education, Pakistan, have signed an online agreement to jointly build a Confucius Classroom, the 14th Confucius Institute (Classroom) in Henan Province, to facilitate cultural exchange under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The staff of the Millennium Education believed the new classroom will provide abundant resources and great convenience for Pakistani youth to access and understand Chinese culture.
In comparison with that Confucius Institutes are only set up in universities, Confucius Classrooms are open to primary and secondary schools and other cultural and educational institutions. It means that not only college students, but also Pakistani juveniles aged between 12 and 18 have access to authentic Chinese culture, which contributes greatly to the connectivity of people in the two countries.
After many rounds of communication, HNU and Millennium Education have reached a consensus on carrying out international Chinese language education. According to a teacher of HNU, the Confucius Classroom will give full play to the professional advantages of participating institutions, base on the local characteristics and the actual demand, and provide systematic Chinese education for Pakistani youth. – Agencies
