Xu Lin, the director of national overseas Chinese teaching office, said, “Overseas schools have strong demand for Chinese teaching. Many students and parents longs for opening Chinese courses, but currently it is short of Chinese teachers. Its supply falls short of demand.
She said, “National overseas Chinese teaching office and Australia New South Wales education department signed a cooperation understanding memorandum, hoping to promote Chinese education in New South Wales and set up “Confucius classroom”. Currently, the Chinese teaching materials are mainly about the things that happened in China. The two parties together will design and develop the localized Chinese teaching materials that adapt to Australian local language cultural environment.”
